Sex scenes and sexual references

There are multiple references to sex and masturbation, including a scene where a man suggests two women should have sex to ruin their marriage and another man announces he has a big penis.

We see a character’s phone screen which shows various sexualised GIFs including women dancing erotically, a woman’s naked backside, and a brief close-up of a digitally enlarged naked penis spinning around.

A character spreads whale semen over their face from a whale phallus.

Drug use

Twice, a main character is shown snorting a large amount of cocaine, and the effects are depicted comically. In one of the scenes, another character physically forces the character to take even more cocaine by rubbing it in their face, which causes them to pass out briefly then wake up as a comical different persona.

Offensive language

There is very frequent use of offensive language in the film, including  “asshole”, “sh*t” and “f*ck”.

The N-word is spoken during a fight between Kevin Hart’s character and another.

Content that may offend

Characters make fun of more than one different ethnicity by putting on accents and dressing differently (e.g. putting on sunglasses). This is well-received, even encouraged, by other characters, but some viewers may find it offensive.
