Violence and gore in Celtic Pride
Violence is mild and consistently played for comedic effect. The central kidnapping involves some struggling and characters being tied up. A gun is brandished and used as a threat in a scene, but not fired to harm anyone. Other moments include slapstick altercations and aggressive but non-injurious one-on-one basketball.
Language in Celtic Pride
Language is moderate and the main reason for the PG-13 rating. The dialogue includes at least two uses of the "f-word." Other profanity such as "s--t," "asshole," "damn," and "hell" is used occasionally throughout.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Celtic Pride
Substance use is mild but plot-relevant. Mike and Jimmy's initial plan involves getting Lewis Scott drunk at a nightclub, and characters are shown drinking beer and liquor. Scenes depict characters drinking socially and one character experiencing a hangover.
Mature themes in Celtic Pride
The film's primary theme is kidnapping, a serious crime that is presented as a comedic, if misguided, act of sports fandom.
