Adult themes

This film contains mild sexual references.

After having switched bodies with her daughter, a mother says, “my patients won’t accept advice from a stripper!”

We see a woman’s underwear and the top of her buttocks while she wears low-cut pants, and a man’s buttock after a woman signs it.

Suicide references

After a mother takes her teenage daughter's door away from her after finding out she was in detention at school. The daughter tells her to give it back or she’ll kill herself, to which her little brother says, “can I watch?” It is intended to be funny in the style of a dramatic teenage moment, but it may be shocking for some.
