Linguini and Colette kiss passionately twice in the film. There is also a brief scene when an arguing couple kiss and embrace.

One mild sexual joke in which a man refers to something "small," and a woman glances down presumably toward his genitals. Both are clothed, it is very brief and likely not detectable by children.

A woman with a shotgun shoots repeatedly at two rats, many holes are blown in the house and furniture, the ceiling collapses and a huge number of rats pours out; the rats scurry and run, the woman follows the rats and continues shooting at them, the rats sail away on small makeshift boats, and one rat is separated from the others. A woman aims a gun at a man, the man grabs the woman's arm, they struggle and the gun fires but no one is struck. While hiding under a young man's shirt a rat scratches and bites him repeatedly; the man swats at it and thrashes around (we see red slash marks on his chest and abdomen later, although this is played out for comedic affect, and the man reacts in a funny manner). A woman slaps a young man hard in the face. A woman raises her hand to strike a young man but does not. A rat falls through a skylight and into a dishpan in a restaurant kitchen, the rat jumps out of the dishpan, lands on the floor, is nearly stepped on and rolled over, an oven is lit and the rat runs as the flames shoot out of the oven bottom, falls into a pot and is nearly boiled, and falls into a roasting pan and is nearly roasted. A rat falls on a street and is nearly struck by many cars: people walking on the sidewalk kick and stomp at it (it is not injured). A man swings a mop handle at a rat, another uses a cleaver, and a young man catches it in a jar. A man on a scooter chases a rat through streets: the man drives down stairs, the rat jumps into a tree, then into the air and lands on a boat, and the man follows, missing the boat and landing in the water. A store window has a display with many rats whose heads are stuck in traps, and other rat killing items including poisons. A rat is trapped in a cage-like trap (it is not injured) and locked in the trunk of a car. Two men are bound and gagged and locked in a food pantry by rats. Several people with knives move toward a rat (they are stopped). A young man takes a rat in a jar to the river and plans to throw it in to kill it. A pack of rats chases a man, clamber onto his car, and he tries to drive away but crashes. A man on a bicycle crashes into a parked car. A rat carries a cheese knife and walks toward a noise coming from a shadow and another rat jumps out startling it. A rat is frightened and worried when it finds itself alone in a strange place. A rat smokes a mushroom over a chimney, and with another rat they are struck by lightning, thrown from the roof and to the ground (they have electrified fur but are otherwise OK). A man yells at and is repeatedly insulting to a young man and other staff members in a kitchen. A woman threatens to kill a young man. A blindfolded young man uses a knife to cut and chop food and cooks while a rat controls his movements. A young man imagines a man telling him that he'd like to order his "heart roasted on a spit." We hear that a man died after receiving a bad review from a food critic. A man talks about having killed someone with his thumb, and a woman talks about several other men and their dangerous backgrounds (being in prison, and being mysterious). We hear explosions and see flashes of light coming from inside a house and a rat crashes through a window. A young man flips a crepe out an open window and we hear a traffic accident in the street below. A rat pulls a young man's hair to control his movements. A young man tastes a soup and vomits out of a window (we hear him gagging). A woman sees many rats working in a kitchen and nearly vomits. A rat finds rat poison among the garbage that other rats are eating from, and stops them from eating any more

1 mild obscenity(hell in a phrase where someone says, Welcome to Hell).

Alcohol is shown.

Briefly, a man gets drunk

There is a near drowning scene while Remy is in the sewer. Various instruments for killing rats are shown. Dead rats are shown in a store window. Might be frightening for very young children.
