Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: parents' guide

Nearly constant but cartoonish: kung fu duels, sword fights, a stabbing and psychic blasts staged like an arcade game, with defeated exes exploding into coins. Punches land on faces, including a teen girl's, and Ramona is knocked down some stairs, but there is no blood.

By one count one f-word and four s-words, plus a running joke in which f-words are bleeped, not always fully. About two dozen uses of 'ass,' a handful each of 'bitch,' 'damn,' 'hell' and 'slut,' frequent 'oh my God,' and a raised middle finger.

Scott and Ramona get into bed in underwear and kiss, but she says no to sex and they just sleep. His gay roommate kisses and beds several men, with sex implied. Plenty of innuendo, including an orgasm joke that ends a fight.

Young adults drink beer and wine at clubs, parties and dinner, and the roommate comes home drunk after a party. Scott says being in love feels like being on drugs, then adds that he doesn't use them. No drug use is shown.

Little real fear. The battles are played for laughs and spectacle, with occasional quick peril such as a flaming sword or a character knocked unconscious, and nothing lingers.
