Sex & Nudity

  • Molly mentions Alex slamming the toilet seat on his 'thing' which means his penis.
  • A man gets hit in the crotch with a crowbar and says 'You smacked my winkie'.
  • As Alice bends over, the back of her pants rip, exposing her red underwear.
  • A man is seen with his trousers down.
  • Alex is seen peeling stickers off of a poster with a topless woman. Very little is shown, but Stan's parrot says 'If those are real I'm an eagle'.
  • Alex is seen taking his trousers down to inspect his rear end in the mirror, but only his lower legs and upper body are ever shown.
  • Karen says that Alex's body is covered in chicken pox spots, to which Molly asks 'Would that include his buttock region?'
  • Mr Pruitt is seen without his trousers. It takes him some time to realise.
  • Alex shoots a toy gun at a TV, hitting the part of the screen, where women are dancing, and giggles as it hits her buttocks on the screen

Violence & Gore

  • Mainly played for laughs: a remote control car rolls on someone's face.
  • A man is hit by a car and lands on the windshield, men run into each other, a woman is dragged by a dog through some bushes
  • A man falls several stories through the house landing on some planks then on a toilet. The toilet crushes down causing water the leak, others fall through the porch (after wooden planks hit them on the head), and Alice falls several stories down a dumbwaiter and we hear a crash. (All slapstick no harm done)
  • A large book-filled chest falls from an attic window and lands on two of the men. Moments later, a barbell with weights then hits the two on their heads.
  • A woman gets her hand stuck on goo in a trap and that removes her glove. She climbs over the fence and lands on tar. She gets stuck and trips on a string. A flower pot from the third story falls on her head a couple times.
  • A man trips on a welcome mat under which there are marbles and he hits his nose on the knocking horseshoe.
  • A criminal peeks through a mail hole and a young boy uses graffiti and sprays his eyes. His eyes look like goggles but no harm was done. He gets a saw and breaks the door open.
  • A woman tries holding on the rails of the stair but it breaks apart. She falls her back on the stairs crushing her back. She tries doing another se of gymnastics and sucessfully lands on the porch but the planks have no stableness causing her to fall down to the closet.
  • A man goes to a porch and the planks tilt hitting his head and making him fall into a closet landing on a woman.
  • An intruder who is from the window steps on muddy glue in a cart. He starts rolling over uncontrollably and bumps into some objects. He enters the basement and the wheels trip on a bump making him do a handstand. He goes down the stairs and gets his hand caught on a mousetrap causing him to shoot the pipes. The pipes lead to the toile causing the toilet to unclog onto the man. The waste goes on the man's face (disgusting).
  • An intruder tries getting in the window but a kid with a handlebar attached to a plastic bag full of snow hits the intruder's face. His face is covered with snow and the man gets a deflated balloon out of his tongue.
  • A man finds a doll that looks like a kid who he wants to kidnap. He pulls and pulls making him activate a mower. He actually pulls a doll and the mower activates causing it to fall from the hole onto the man's head. (In real life this would've caused a gory impact) but due to the PG rating he actually gets his head shaved.
  • A kid screws a nail on the front door and the man tries breaking in but the nail hits his hand. He reacts with "OW" four times.
  • A man hears a kid crying (it is actually a doll) and gets trapped when he opens a door causing a boxing glove to hit his crotch. He falls down and all his ammo explodes onto his butt. The kid reacts with facial expression.
  • A man and a woman tries charging at a kid but two of them charge at him at the same time causing them to fall. The man tries getting through, the kid closes the door making him bump his head.
  • A man and woman tries getting a kid. They figure to use the trampoline to land so they both jump from the attic to the trampoline. The trampoline was on top of a pool of ice which causes it to break apart and for them to shiver in cold.
  • A hook attaches to a man's shirt. He tries getting it out and pulls causing a sprinkler to spray on his head. He tries stopping the sprinkler pulling harder but that just causes the sprinkler to spray on his scrotum.
  • A man hides in an igloo. A parrot comes in and lites a bunch of fireworks. The fireworks blast him out.
  • A woman kidnaps a dog. The kid tries using a dog whistle to rescue the dog. The dog starts running and that ties the woman's' legs dragging her to a bunch of bushes. At the end the woman stands up and her pants rip apart exposing her underwear (played for laughs).
  • Like the 1st and 2nd movie there is slapstick violence:
  • Alice whacks a man in the crotch with a stick when she sees Alex's pet rat poking its head out from the man's torn clothing.
  • A woman falls a couple stories through the floors of a house.
  • A woman binds and gags an elderly woman with duct tape and leaves the garage door open.
  • Two men are electrically shocked, one by a chair rigged to a car battery, the other by grabbing electrified wires. His glove gets blown off and a lightning bolt fires off his butt (played for laughs). The other guy gets pushed to a wooden wall after the shock.
  • Alex drops objects from the house on to the bad guys.

Profanity

  • Not much. 2 uses of "Oh my God", & 3 of "Oh God". A couple slang terms were used: "thing" & "winkie". The word "damn" is used by a parrot singing "Bad Bad Leroy Brown". The word "hell" is used a few times in a song called "My Town" by Cartoon Boyfriend.
  • Very mild name-calling.
  • Cinemax content advisory: rated PG for mild violence (MV), and adult language (AL) and adult content (AC).

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Not much. An elderly lady smokes a cigarette and drinks whiskey.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • All the violence is played for laughs
  • A very fuzzy movie, because of different characters, as opposed to the first 2 movies. The main character's family is loving and respectful to him, and even though his siblings pick on him, it's healthy sibling rivalry. They demonstrate their love to him eventually (without giving away plot points). The only reason his mother scolds him is because she believes he's making it up. It's a welcome change from the way the McCallister abuse Kevin.
