Sex & Nudity

The entire movie is about two of the presidents staff trying to start a war so reporters will get distracted so they can cover up one of the presidents indiscretions involving a woman who is not his wife. Though encounter is not shown it is referenced to heavily through out the movie. Nothing else.

Violence & Gore

War is talked about quite a lot, and the over all mood of the movie is dark albeit hilarious.

Profanity

7 uses of the f-word and 19 uses of the s-word.

Lots of alcohol is drunk and many people smoke constantly, drugs are referenced to though not shown directly.

Nothing in this movie is neither intense or frightening.
