Scrooged: parents' guide

A fired employee blasts a shotgun through the office and holds people hostage. A fairy ghost punches Frank and hits him with a toaster, a rotting zombie is shot with a handgun, and there are car crashes. Little blood is shown.

S-words, 'goddamn,' 'son of a bitch,' 'bastard,' 'bitch,' 'ass,' 'hell,' and 'p---y,' with 'Jesus' and 'Christ' as exclamations. No f-word: UK classifiers call the language moderate, and the guides we read list nothing stronger than s-words.

Innuendo throughout, including Kama Sutra jokes and talk of paying for women. A woman photocopies her bottom in panties, dancers wear revealing bodysuits, one costume partly shows a dancer's breasts, and a forced kiss is played for laughs.

Frequent drinking at work, parties, and restaurants, sometimes to drunkenness and reckless driving. Adults smoke, including a pregnant woman. Frank's TV promo briefly shows a man injecting heroin, and UK classifiers also note soft drug use.

Grotesque imagery: a rotting ghost, detachable eyeballs, a skeletal Ghost of the Future with writhing souls inside its ribcage, a man found frozen to death, and Frank trapped in a coffin as it is cremated.
