Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Welcome to the Jungle is a 2013 movie in which a corporate retreat to a deserted island leads to orgies, sex slaves, implied rape, and drugs -- and that's just the beginning. This movie attempts to be funny by being excruciatingly crass but fails to be humorous, so the result is what Lost or Lord of the Flies would have been like if they'd been written by an alcoholic college fraternity with a collective C-average. There is frequent profanity (including "f--k"), brief female nudity, drinking, and drugs. Overall, this is an attempt at a satire of the corporate hierarchy, but it fails on every level, and what's left is a gratuitously vulgar, crass, and unfunny movie with no redeeming value, not even as mindless entertainment.
Sexual
Content
Brief female nudity; bare breasts shown. Frequent references to sex. While stranded on an island, characters engage in orgies and are shown rolling around with each other or making gestures suggesting masturbation. Some characters are turned into sex slaves by the ruler of the island.
Violence
A character is believed to be mauled to death by a tiger. Characters fight in a pit. Characters come close to being decapitated. Implied rape.
Language
Frequent profanity throughout the film, including "f--k" and "p---y." Inappropriate sex talk in an office setting. While ogling an Asian woman, a man says that he would like to "eat a fortune cookie out of her butthole." The word "gay" is used in a negative sense. At an office meeting, a character is caught drawing all over a picture of the person making the presentation and adding the thought cloud, "I need lube" above his face.
Social
Behavior
This failed satire has no positive messages.
Consumerism
Not applicable
Drugs / Tobacco /
Alcohol
Characters drink alcohol and smoke marijuana. After being trapped on an island, a man spikes the food and drink of his coworkers with hallucinogenic drugs so they do his bidding.
