Sex & Nudity

  • Phil Phillips makes a few mild sex references.
  • A female puppet flirts with a male puppet and puts her foot on his shoulder and then licks his face with a very long tongue; then they make out on a desk and then against the frosted window of a door (there are people on the other side of the door that hear and see the female puppet being pressed against the glass) followed by an extended ejaculation and we see silly string spraying all around the room, on the ceiling and the walls. Pretty tame and it's a PG-13 sex scene
  • A female puppet's pubic hair, is shown in close up during an interrogation scene (a parody of the scene in the movie "Basic Instinct").
  • There is a scene that takes place in a covinince store where an octopus rapidly milks a cow. The octopus increasingly milks her and moans suggestively while the cow moos orgasmically. Not graphic and brief
  • The sex scene is very brief and there is no nudity. The entire scene is in the red band trailer.

Violence & Gore

  • The premise of the film involves the murder of puppets - who are killed using a variety of weapons. Their deaths are bloodless, because they are puppets, and viewers see cotton instead of blood.
  • Some comic violence throughout; puppet character's are shot, stabbed, beaten and murdered in exaggerated and comical ways.
  • A masked figure enters a store and holds the owner (a puppet) at gunpoint. The owner is shot in the head with a shotgun, causing their head to explode and fluff to splatter everywhere; two more puppets open a door and are shot in a similar manner, complete with their heads being blown off. A puppet is shot off-screen and their dead bodies are shown with stuffing strewn around the room.
  • A puppet is grabbed and bitten by several dogs as he screams in pain while they bite at his limbs; a woman attempts to grab his leg but accidentally tears it off as she screams as well.
  • A puppet is suddenly shot in the head by an unseen shooter mid-sentence, his head is shown bursting into white stuffing. Two more puppets are shot dead with little fluff shown.
  • In a flashback, a character attempts to shoot a puppet thief but misses and accidentally kills a puppet bystander; fluff is briefly shown spraying from his head before he collapses. Later, the thief is shot in the head in a slow-motion shot as stuffing sprays form his head.

Profanity

  • lots of uses of the f-bomb is used which is About 78 F-word and its derivatives, 2 obscene hand gestures, 16 sexual references, 30 scatological terms, 35 anatomical terms, 24 mild obscenities, name-calling 10 religious profanities (GD), 29 religious exclamations

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Sugar is A Drug to Puppets

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • If the cussing was cut down it would be PG-13 because the brief sex scene isn't graphic
