Jingle All the Way: parents' guide

Frequent comic brawling: shoppers trample people, a big fistfight breaks out with fake Santas, characters are tasered, maced and kicked in the groin, and police draw guns. A package bomb scorches a cop's face. No blood.

Mild and occasional: 'damn,' 'hell,' 'ass,' 'screw' and 'butt,' plus insults like 'loser' and 'simpleton.' One line about sweating like a dog in a Chinese restaurant is a racist gag.

Innuendo runs through one subplot, as a neighbor keeps trying to seduce the hero's wife and fails. There is a crack about a woman sleeping around, a double entendre, and a brief nonsexual glimpse of a man in underwear.

Adults drink at a holiday party, spike coffee at a diner and swig from liquor bottles. A young child drinks from a liquor bottle in a fantasy sequence, and one man briefly smokes a cigar.

Mostly comic, but a bomb threat, a menacing crew of counterfeit Santas and the parade climax, where the son is in danger until his dad rescues him, may briefly alarm very young viewers.
