Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • A man threatens children several times. Not graphic but it isn't meant playfully
  • The people talk about sea monsters being killed, and Giulia's dad says that he kills "anything that swims" but this is not shown.
  • Three guys keep messing with the two main characters. And in another scene, one of them punches another character in the stomach.
  • A man is seen chopping fish, blood is seen on the Knife, and the inside of the fish is seen, not too graphic
  • Luca punches his uncle Ugo's heart, when he loses his air, and it is a bit creepy, considering he is a see-through fish.
  • Many close death experiences with a harpoon.

Profanity

  • 2 Words Use Of "Shut up"
  • As Ercole first comes into town, a police officer says "mannaggia! Here we go again"."mannaggia" means "damn"
  • Ercole does call Luca, Alberto and Giulia: "losers." He continues to insult them, throughout the movie
  • Language is largely of the insult variety: "stinking", "stupido", "jerk", idioti", "trash", "shut up", "what's wrong with you" and "bottom feeder", as well as swearing stand-in "aw, sharks." which is very sound of the S-word.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • There are no alcohol, or drug references.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some emotional scenes between the main characters
  • The camera focuses on Uncle Ugo, a fish who's skin is see-through. His heart and intestines are visible for about 5 seconds. He also talks about eating whale carcass.
  • One of the characters was born without an arm.
  • Depictions of bullying that includes pushing, shoving and comic hitting.
  • In a heated fallout, Alberto reveals himself as a sea monster, and Luca then shouts "SEA MONSTER!", which gives Alberto a very sad look. This can hit hard for many audiences.
  • (Deleted. Personal opinions about ratings are not appropriate for the Parents Guide.)
