Sex and nudity in Monte Carlo

Content is very mild. There are several brief, chaste kisses between romantic interests. In a couple of scenes, characters are seen in bikinis on a beach or by a pool. During a brief comedic moment, a character opens a door to find a man in a bubble bath, but only his bare shoulders and chest are briefly visible. Some outfits are short or form-fitting.

Violence and gore in Monte Carlo

Violence is minimal and entirely comedic. In one slapstick scene, the three main characters tackle another woman onto a couch, tie her to a chair, and gag her with an apple; she is unharmed and escapes shortly after. An electrical outlet sparks and smokes when a phone charger is plugged in. A character accidentally knocks over a row of scooters.

Language in Monte Carlo

Language is infrequent and mild, earning the film its PG rating. There is one use each of "ass" and "shit." Other language includes some light name-calling like "hoochie heels" and mild insults.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Monte Carlo

Adults are shown drinking champagne and wine in social settings like parties, dinners, and a polo match. This is depicted as part of a luxurious lifestyle and is not a focus of the story. There is no drug use.

Mature themes in Monte Carlo

The central theme is deception, as the main characters impersonate an heiress to enjoy a life of luxury. This leads to themes of dishonesty, guilt, and the eventual consequences of their actions, including facing public humiliation and the risk of being arrested. There are also brief discussions of past family illness and a parent's death.
