A girl says Willard and Janice (a boy and a girl) are in love

May Belle says Ms. Emmonds is Jess girlfriend.

From the way he looks at her, it is implied that Jess likes his teacher in a romantic.

A boy imagines being chased by a creature (we see mostly moving shadows) through thick woods, and he trips, so he covers his head in fear (he's OK).

A boy shoves his little sister and she falls on the ground.

Children tease a boy on a school bus and one throws a piece of bread with peanut butter that sticks to his shirt.

Two boys shove another boy in the hallway and he falls on the floor; one of them has a bloody nose later and it is suggested that a girl punched him.

A "dirt monster" swirls into the shape of a living thing, and then back into dust in a few scenes and it appears to be following a boy.

A young girl cries and asks her brother to beat up a girl who stole her Twinkie (he does not oblige her).

A girl talks about people who are prisoners of a "dark master" and that they need to rescue them.

An animal is caught in a trap and a boy releases it in the woods (his father wanted to kill the animal).

Several children chant "free the pee" while marching toward a bully who makes them pay to use the bathroom.

A girl has ketchup stains on her face from another girl who squirted her.

Says "damn" 7 times in a conversation between Jesse and his father.

None

Jess thinks he sees the dark master running through the woods, and the figure dives at him, but it turns out to be his dad.

Overall, a family film , not quite.

There are scenes of bullying.

Large sharp-toothed creatures (they look like wild dogs) surround a boy and a girl, and they lunge at them: the boy and the girl fight them off with sticks, a dog bites the tail of one creature, and the boy imagines having an iron glove on his hand and punches two of the creatures that are thrown into a tree.

A boy sees a dark, shadowy figure moving close to him through a forest and he is frightened.
