No, but there's a scene in which the parents of a little girl confess a number of parenting screwups they've been guilty of over the years: accidentally dropping the baby on her head, forgetting her at home and stuff like that. There's no active abuse or serious/general neglect of children in the movie, and the girl is clearly thriving.

Sex is mentioned/discussed or alluded to repeatedly. There's everyday, down-to-earth intercourse between spouses, who talk in normal tones about how they can't make the sex work at the moment. Comedic, not porn-like. No nudity, except for one scene in which a man dances sexily on a stage: At one point, we see his shorts-wearing butt from behind, his balls accidentally hanging out.

Well... There's a long scene in which Seth Rogen and Zac Efron are shirtless. Efron of course is super ripped, and Rogen is chubby. Rogen has rough lines drawn with a marker on his upper body to badly imitate visible pecs, sixpack etc. I'm not sure if anyone says anything about it. Other than that scene, I don't know. It's not a "theme" in the movie. Incidentally, Beanie Feldstein, who's considerably overweight, is in the movie, and at no point does her weight play a role; it's not referred to in words or action.

We briefly see a man dressed up as a woman for fun at a party. It doesn't look super funny to me (even though it's not done convincingly, nor in earnest), no deal is made of it whatsoever, and no one laughs at him. He's just there, dressed in the same way that the girls around him are dressed for fun (it's not their usual style); he's just part of the group. I don't know if that constitutes a "Man in a dress joke".

More like the opposite. There's an unusual montage in which two black police officers bust into three or four drug dens, one after the other. All but the last group of dealers(/associates/friends) are all-white, and the most experienced officer is super aggressive with them, to the point of shoving the barrel of his gun into one of the men's mouth completely unprovoked. (The less experienced officer asks, "What are you doing?!?", but doesn't stop him.) The last group turn out to be black, and suddenly the officer is as polite and jovial as can be. I can only see the montage as a comment on the problem with white-cop-on-black-citizen violence/aggression. Unfortunately, I don't recall whether there are any other scenes featuring police, except for a few scenes involving the less experienced officer as a private citizen (hanging out with his non-police friends); he's presented as neither more nor less of a nice or cool person than any other guy.

Erm, partial... Towards the end of the movie, an extremely pregnant woman (due the next day) suddenly feels bad physically while walking across the room at a party, and the people with her ask if she's going into labour, but the discomfort passes, and she writes it off and continues on her way. Shortly thereafter (still at the party), in a pretty bizarre scene, she shows up with the baby's leg hanging/sticking out between her legs. She's standing, and we see the leg between her thighs. No blood. She's pretty calm and collected, just sort of puzzled, and doesn't express pain. It's about as undramatic as it could possibly be. The scene ends there. Pretty soon after (in movie time), some days or weeks having passed, we see her and the newborn, both just fine. At no point do we hear about any (other) birth-related complications.

A grown man (father) and possibly his wife as well, smoke(s) a lot of weed in his/their everyday life. Whether it's actually addiction is debatable. In any case, they seem to be managing adult life fine, generally taking good care of their little girl. The girl is seen repeatedly holding a dildo as if it were a child's toy (of course not knowing what it is), but I really don't see that as a problem, and the child only has it because she keeps finding and taking it herself. There's a scene in which the parents tell each other about instances when they've screwed up as parents, but don't all parents do that sometimes? ... Other people in the movie smoke weed and get super drunk at parties, but again, I'm not sure if they're addicted. My guess is no.

Not really, but there's a scene which might very well be triggering: A man is driving, thinking he's alone in the car, when he's shocked by the sudden appearance of a teen girl in the backseat. He slams the brakes in shock, and the girl goes flying through the windshield and lands on the road several meters in front of the car, rolling over a few times, and lies still. Cut to the man, who screams, "I killed a giiiirl!" The next moment, she gets up completely unharmed, yells something sassy at him and runs away completely unfazed. It's all meant to be funny, but that doesn't change the fact that we see a person being hurled through a windshield and end up lying still on the road.

Well... A grown man puts on a clown wig (rubber scalp with red hair) and paints his face up to look clown-like (doing a bad job of it). He keeps acting the way he normally would, talking normally, being goofy, surrounded by friends. No standing silently in the dark or anything like that.

No. Someone who's attempting to zipline indoors falls from not far below a high ceiling onto a table with a big crash when the line snaps or comes loose, but he's just fine immediately after.

Hmm... Jews/Jewishness are mentioned quite a lot, sometimes more or less making fun of them/it, and at one point some people dressed up as practicing Jews play a part in the plot: They're posing as next-door neighbours to convince prospective house buyers that there will be no disturbances from next door, since the neighbours are a pious family. In that sense, being observantly Jewish is presented as a good thing, but the fact that the scene is meant to be comical might still bother some people...? I don't know. Regardless, there's a deeply distasteful joke in the scene: One of the people dressed up as Jews is made up to look pregnant, and Seth Rogen says, "She has a Jew in the oven" (think Holocaust), which stops the conversation for a moment, everybody looking uncomfortable, but nothing is said about it. I'm not sure if we're meant to think that Rogen's character intended it as a (horrible) joke or said it accidentally, only realising how it could be perceived after he said it, but the movie makers obviously intended the moment - utterance and reactions - to be funny. ... All that said, Seth Rogen (and his character) is Jewish, as is the director - both are ethnically Jewish, and were also raised Jewish. I don't know if that makes a difference to people out there. (It does to me, but I'm not Jewish, so what do I know.) Seth Rogen quote: "I'm sensitive to Jewish people being hurt, as a Jewish person. And I'm sensitive to Jewish people thinking I'm not a proud Jewish person, which I am."

A married man sort of touches tongues with a teenage girl, but they do it because they're mystified by their own tongues, because they're high as kites from being roofied. It's not sexual at all.

Hmmm... Sexual assault-adjacent, maybe? There's no rape or other violent sexual assault. Everything in the movie is played for laughs. BUT there are scenes which may be triggering to some. There's lots of more or less direct sexual social pressure and hypersexualisation, and lots of invading people's private space in more or less sexual ways. In one scene, a man runs across his front lawn, which is crowded with teen girls in bikinis, and they tear off his clothes as he stumbles along. He locks himself in his car, and several girls crowd the car, one or two on the hood, making very sexually suggestive movements aimed at him. While it's going on, he says to his wife on the phone that he doesn't like it (although he's smiling slightly, which indicates that he secretly sort of does). ... There's also a typical frat-style party during which several of the hosting girls start to feel very uncomfortable because they're being overtly sexualised by guys at the party (the girls explicitly talk about how they're feeling). They advertised the party in advance by posting an invitation video on the internet in which they intentionally sexualised themselves to draw as many people as possible, and they dress up hypersexily for the party as well to continue drawing people in at the door, but when it comes down to it, they hate the atmosphere and feel unsafe, and they close down the party. We see two people - a teen girl and a grown man - drinking from the punch bowl at the party, only to find that the punch contained roofies. Nothing happens to them besides getting high, but still. Btw, at one point someone says "Never drink the punch at a party", which is pretty depressing. ... At another party, seen earlier on in the movie, a frat house is "decorated" with signs clearly indicating that going upstairs to have sex is expected behaviour - lights hung in the shape of a penis, lights hung in the shape of arrows pointing up the stairs, written signs... --- There may be other instances than these, but unfortunately I don't remember.

Very early on in the movie, maybe even in the first scene, a (pregnant) woman throws up full in her husband's face during sex. We hear and see it clearly, and the vomit stays on his face for the rest of the scene. It's pretty disgusting.
