| frightening |
This is a black comedy about accidental use of atomic bombs. Some scenes of nuclear explosions could be frightening or intense.
Even though the film is a PG and the fact that it is a comedy (dark comedy), the film's subject matter is very serious and younger audiences might not understand the plot or even find the subject matter interesting. |
