Our take
Hippo's Revenge follows a plan to open a safari rescue in England that goes sideways when a rogue hippo threatens the community. Animal attacks and comic action fill the plot, and the strong swearing is unusually frequent for a family title. Everything plays loud and broad, nowhere near a realistic wildlife drama. ClearAge puts it around MA 15+ for older kids who can handle harsh language with the laughs.
Story (may spoil tone)
A father and daughter prepare to open their Safari Rescue in England, featuring a mother hippo and her calf. But when a ruthless criminal plots to steal them under the cover of night, chaos erupts.

People have already died because of the rogue hippo, and later chases put the rescue team in genuine danger. Creature peril keeps pushing the plot forward. The camera stays loud and broad, never tipping into gore

From the opening minutes, characters drop the f-word and s-word, and the harsh swearing keeps coming through the hippo chaos. Kids will hear thick adult talk all the way through this animal-peril family title

During a quieter beat someone asks for a kiss, and earlier there is a mild animal-lover innuendo. No sexual content appears on screen. Nudity is not something parents need to flag
