Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
Nudity and sexual content include brief glimpses of breasts, a man's large genitals outlined through underwear, several partially nude couples waiting to have sex in public, and crude sexual talk. Jokes reference rape, pedophilia and incest.
Violence & Gore
Violence is mostly played for humor, including a brother punching and putting a plastic bag over another's head, a fist fight between families, and a woman killed by an oncoming truck. Rusty ends up with blood on him after running over a steer.
Profanity
Strong language appears in basically every scene, with frequent obscenities including a particularly strong term for a sexual act and common use of expletives.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Adults and college students drink, and one scene shows a mom chugging a pitcher of beer and projectile vomiting through an obstacle course. Adults also drink wine at meals.
Frightening Scenes
Some scenes feature a man with a death wish killing himself while rafting and a sudden fatal truck collision on the highway, which may be unsettling, though much of the content is played for comedy.
Other things to know
Products and brands shown include iPad, iPhone, Facebook, Instagram, Yankee Candle, Ferrari and Nissan.
Positives & learning
More filled segments mean stronger positive content or learning value.
Positive messages
Some messages celebrate steadfast marriages and the idea that vacations form lasting impressions on kids, amid crude content.
Role models
Rusty is portrayed as a sweet and caring father who wants to lead his family on a memorable trip, though he doesn't always make the best decisions; other characters behave in very iffy ways.
Representation
Some jokes portray a trucker as a rapist and a pedophile, and sexual humor objectifies characters, including an attractive husband described as ridiculously endowed. Representation is mixed and not broadly assessed for diversity.
Learning
Families can discuss reboots and remakes, why they are common, and how sex and drinking are portrayed and whether consequences are realistic.
