Ages 12+, but every child is different
The humor relies heavily on double entendres, suggestive sexual references, and pervasive crude language. Stylized slapstick violence and absurdity reflect a mature satirical tone unsuitable for younger children.
Content Safety Breakdown
Detailed breakdown of potentially concerning content
Sex & Nudity
The film features suggestive dialogue, double entendres, and a scene involving a bathing sequence where characters are seen from the shoulders up. There is also a mild romantic subplot involving kissing.
Violence & Gore
As a slapstick comedy, the violence is stylized and mostly consists of exaggerated sword fights and comedic stunts. While characters are poked or bonked, it is designed to be humorous rather than realistic or graphic.
Profanity
The film uses mild language such as d*mn (multiple times) and h*ll (a few times) in a comedic, lighthearted context throughout the movie.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Characters are occasionally shown drinking ale in tavern settings, which is consistent with the medieval setting. There is no focus on drug usage, and smoking is not a prominent feature.
Frightening Scenes
There are no truly scary or frightening sequences, though some scenes involve generic dungeon settings or tense confrontations that are played strictly for laughs rather than genuine suspense.
