To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails. While the boys don't show much respect for authority, they do learn important lessons about what makes a friendship/team really strong and the importance of having empathy for others. Two adults flirt with each other and go on a date. Language includes frequent potty/body words, as well as insults like "weirdo," "stupid," and "suck up," and there's some stereotyping (particularly the nerdy character, Melvin). Some kids might be upset by the principal's constant yelling or his threat to separate the boys and end their friendship, but things generally stay pretty upbeat. But many of the tense/perilous moments are lightened via humor (there's lots of slapstick) and animation choices (for instance, switching to a flip-book style at the height of a big battle). In addition to all the jokes about poop, Uranus, and other bodily functions, there's some superhero/action violence - particularly when the villain (Professor Poopypants) attacks the school.
