Language in Bewitched
This is the primary driver of the PG-13 rating. While some mild words like 'hell,' 'damn,' and 'ass' are present, the film contains multiple uses of stronger slang terms as insults, including 'pussy,' 'dick,' and 'tool.' There are also several uses of 'Oh my God' and other religious exclamations.

Substance use is mild and infrequent. Characters are shown drinking wine and other alcoholic beverages socially at a party. In one scene, a character angrily jokes about a test audience being 'high on crack,' but there is no on-screen drug use.
Mature themes in Bewitched
Thematic content is generally light, revolving around romance, identity, and deception. Isabel struggles with wanting to be accepted for who she is, not her magic.
