Sex & Nudity
The film contains very mild romantic themes, including a brief scene where a character is accidentally propositioned and some light kissing between a husband and wife.
Violence & Gore
The action includes stylized brawls, bullying, and occasional physical altercations, though the violence remains non-graphic and fits the tone of a lighthearted adventure.
Profanity
The dialogue features infrequent mild swear words, including "d*mn" (several times), "h*ll" (occasional), "s*cks" (occasional), and "b*stard" (used once in a confrontational context).
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
There are scenes featuring social drinking in bars and a brief, period-appropriate depiction of smoking, though these are not central to the plot.
Frightening Scenes
The "alternate 1985" timeline is notably darker, featuring distressing imagery of a decayed town and a character facing a potentially lethal threat, which may be intense for younger viewers.
