Movie 2016 100 min Action, Comedy, Crime Checked by Dan S · 28 Oct 2026
Official Rating MA 15+ ClearAge 17+

Why our age differs

Official is MA 15+. We say 17+ because drug-trade jokes, gunplay, and wall-to-wall strong language push near adult comedy

Our take

Two suburban friends get pulled into a gang while trying to get a stolen kitten back. The jokes are broad, but there are shootings with blood, drug use, frequent strong language and topless nudity in a strip club. We put it at 17+ because the comedy keeps returning to adult material even when the leads are acting foolish.

Uplifting themes

Loyalty to a friend and care for a helpless animal keep pulling the heroes forward. Under the bluster, kindness toward the kitten is the emotional core The leads mean well and protect each other, but they also lie, deal drugs, and bluff their way through crime. Role-model value is thin and messy

Story (may spoil tone)

Friends hatch a plot to retrieve a stolen cat by posing as drug dealers for a street gang.

Gang talk covers stabbings, shootings, and bragging about bodies. Fistfights and guns show up as the fake-dealer plot heats up, though the comedy keeps landing punchlines on top of the threat

Lots of strong swearing, mostly the f-word, plus the s-word and harsh insults. Racial language and aggressive banter run through nearly every gang scene

Topless women appear in a changing room and dancing in a strip club. This is visible breast nudity, not just sex talk in the gang comedy

Selling and smoking weed is part of the cover story, but the drug content goes further. Drugs are weighed and packaged, characters snort and smoke them, and one character has a drug trip. The film plays much of this for laughs

Bullying / discrimination Mild Characters toss around racial language and status insults while perform…

Characters toss around racial language and status insults while performing toughness. The film plays some of it for satire, but the words still land hard

Guns are used in shootings, with visible blood spurts. The comedy keeps moving, but the violence is more than talk about bodies and weapons

Two amateurs copy gang swagger, handle guns they barely understand, and walk into drug deals. The comedy undercuts them, yet the copycat pose is clear

Talk after watching

  • The friends invent tough-guy personas to survive. When is pretending brave, and when does it put people in real danger?
  • They risk everything for a pet. What would you risk for someone or something you love, and where is the line?
