The Disaster Artist: parents' guide

Mostly shouting, a scuffle in a park, and Tommy kicking newspaper boxes. Scenes recreated from The Room include a staged suicide by gunshot with a bloody pillow and a drug dealer roughing up a teen, all played for laughs.

Strong throughout. Plugged In counted about 65 f-words and 17 s-words, plus motherf--ker, a crude term for oral sex, p---y, d--k, and frequent misuse of God's and Jesus' names.

While shooting a sex scene, Tommy is fully nude except for a small pouch over his genitals, then simulates sex with thrusting and a bare bottom; the finished scene is replayed at a screening. A bedroom romp is implied, plus flirting and innuendo.

Adults drink beer and champagne, including in a bar, and a couple of characters smoke cigarettes. No drug use is shown, though The Room's drug dealer character appears in recreated scenes.

Nothing scary. Tommy's angry outbursts and cruelty on set, such as an older actress fainting on his overheated set, can be uncomfortable, and a gun is waved in a recreated scene.
