Sex and nudity in Trojan War
The film's entire plot revolves around a teenager's attempt to find a condom in order to have sex. There are frequent conversations about sex and losing virginity, crude humor (e.g., a "penis-mobile" joke), and scenes with innuendo. While no nudity is shown, a character is seen in revealing clothing, and graffiti of a nude woman is briefly depicted. The tone is comical but the subject matter is mature.
Violence and gore in Trojan War
Violence is mild to moderate and almost exclusively played for comedic effect. One slapstick scene involves the main character being taken hostage at knifepoint in a convenience store, but the situation is not presented as genuinely terrifying. A car chase concludes with a sports car wrecking and flipping over several times, though no injuries are shown. Most other conflicts are verbal or involve comical pursuits.
Language in Trojan War
Moderate. The film includes several uses of profanity typical for a PG-13 movie. Words like "shit" and "asshole" are used multiple times. There is also one use of "Christ" as an exclamation and some crude anatomical humor.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Trojan War
Mild. There is a prominent scene at a high school house party where teenagers are shown drinking beer from red cups and a keg is present. This instance of underage drinking is the primary depiction of substance use.
Mature themes in Trojan War
Moderate. The central theme is teen sexuality and the social pressures surrounding it, including the importance of safe sex. Other themes include unrequited love, peer pressure, and realizing that the idealization of a romantic interest can be misguided. The film also features minor criminal behavior, such as car theft, which is treated lightly.
