The Family Corner

The Express is rated PG for "thematic content, violence and language involving racism, and for brief sensuality." The gridiron action includes some unnecessary roughness and cheap shots, including multiple incidents of repeated blows to a player after being tackled. The n-word is used along with other expressions of racism, and there is some crass language, including several uses of God's name in vain. In a mild bedroom scene, Ernie playfully unbuttons Sarah's blouse, but it goes no further than that (though their relationship is apparently intimate).
