YES DAY is officially rated PG. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 7+.

In Yes Day, parents Allison and Carlos Torres attempt to repair their relationship with their three children by agreeing to a 24-hour period where they must say yes to every request. The film is a lighthearted family comedy that explores themes of trust, growing up, and letting go. Parents should be aware of some mild…

The film contains very mild, fleeting innuendo. Characters occasionally reference dating, and one scene involves a text message about 'hooking up' which is not acted upon or explored. Romantic elements are limited to married couples kissing or hugging.

Violence is strictly slapstick and comedic. It includes sequences involving water balloon fights, a messy foam explosion, and a chaotic car wash scene. No one is seriously injured or hurt; all physical interactions are framed for laughs.

Language is very mild. There are rare uses of words like 'damn' and 'ass' in non-aggressive contexts, and occasional references to deity, consistent with its PG rating.

None. No drugs, alcohol, or smoking are depicted on-screen.

The film deals with themes of parental control, the pressure to conform, and the challenges of trusting children as they approach adolescence. These are presented through a lens of family reconciliation and mutual understanding.

YES DAY runs 86 minutes, directed by Miguel Arteta, released in 2021.
