Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • A college-aged Phil participates in the hammer-throw in a track-and-field event, but he lets the ball fly and it crashes down onto a nearby table, breaking it. Later, he hurts his knee trying to cross a hurdle.
  • In one scene, two men are seen playing tetherball. One of them violently beats the other with it by over and over again. Red welts and marks are seen all over the man's body.

Profanity

  • One use of the word "God", "Cracker" and "Sucks"; 3 uses of "Shut up"; 2 uses of "screw."
  • At least 5 hells, 2 uses each of "God" and "My God" and 1 use each of "Oh God" and "Oh my God." A few references to "balls" in the testicular way. A lot of getting hit with a soccer ball to the "balls" too. There is a lot of name-calling throughout the movie, particularly adults to kids: "loser", "fart face kid", "break their clavicles", "stupid", and more.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Phil drinks from a coffee cup but spits it out saying that its not coffee. Mike tells him it is vodka.
  • A woman mocking Phil's economy car says something like "Enjoy the hemp" to him (possibly a drug reference). Phil goes from never drinking coffee to becoming an over-the-top coffee/caffeine addict. Mike Ditka is often shown smoking a cigar.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Phil gets his young players to join him in baying at the moon at night. A bunch of neighborhood dogs then storms their impromptu campground, causing comedic chaos, but younger kids scared of dogs might be scared by their sudden arrival. In one scene Phil is at a butcher shop "helping" to make sausage along with the boys, and a large skinned and partially-butchered animal carcass is shown. Afterwards the boys are shown wearing blood-soaked aprons. Phil has blood all over his face.
  • Phil also makes a statement saying that if pizza doesn't arrive soon the team will eat Byong Sung. He goes on to say that if they actually did have to eat someone, Byong Sung would be the most delicious. This may upset some viewers.
