Sex and nudity in Neuilly Yo Mama!
Light, brief teen romance only. Sami develops a relationship with Marie (Joséphine Japy); late in the film they share a short, non-graphic kiss and a couple of tender moments (around the film's final act). No nudity or explicit sexual content.
Violence and gore in Neuilly Yo Mama!
Moderate, primarily non-graphic schoolyard and street assaults. Sami punches Guilain after being humiliated (early-mid film), and a local thug Malik and his friends mug and later attack characters, leaving Sami with a black eye and Guilain sent to the emergency room. A house party escalates into a brawl and vandalism; physical fights are realistic but not gory.
Language in Neuilly Yo Mama!
Occasional coarse language and insulting name-calling among classmates. Characters trade snide, exclusionary remarks and taunts (school scenes and after the black eye); there's no sustained profanity-heavy tirade but regular teen insults and mocking.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Neuilly Yo Mama!
Light/brief party context. A teen house party shows cups and partying teens; there is no prolonged on-screen drunkenness or explicit drug use shown, and intoxication is not a focus.
Mature themes in Neuilly Yo Mama!
Moderate themes around class division, cultural identity, and religious sensitivity. Sami faces prejudice as an outsider in wealthy Neuilly, is tricked into eating pork (a humiliation tied to his faith), and briefly faces being sent back to his mother — emotional moments about belonging and shame recur. The film treats these issues in a comedic-drama tone but they can feel sharp.
