Violence & Gore
-
- A girl kicks a man in the nuts.

- A "man-eating" tiger roars at a girl, but she isn't afraid.
- A boy and girl are forced into a truck and tied up.
- Clowns push each other.

- A boy sets off cherry bombs behind people.
- A boy teases and frightens the girls in school, playing pranks on them and stealing their stuff.
- A boy is neglected by his parents who leave him home alone most of the time. In fact when Madeline tries to tell him while they are kidnapped that his parents will pay a ransom for him, he has tears in his eyes and doubts that they'll want him back because of his bad behavior.
- A boy threatens to bite the head off a mouse. A guillotine is featured and its sharp blade is seen.
- A woman kills a chicken (off-screen, but shouting and chopping can be heard).
- A girl falls into a river and nearly drowns but is rescued by a dog.
- Death and grief are reoccurring themes in the film. It is mentioned that Madeline's parents are dead, although it doesn't explain the cause of death. Lady Covington dies and her husband, Lord Covington, is grief-struck but hides it by turning his rage towards the school and trying to sell it. Madeline is able to talk him out of it by telling him that she knows how sad he is since her own parents are dead, too.
- Helen tells Miss Clavelle that "during the French Resistance, they sure knew how to deal with a man like Lord Covington!" and then makes a throat-slitting motion across her neck.
- Helen has road rage (intended to be comedic but may frighten younger audiences).
Profanity
-
- Humorously ironic, Miss Clavel (a nun) panics and yells "mon dieu" after seeing mice and faints
- "Damn", "hell" and "oh my god" are said and briefly in the beginning Helene yells "Merde" which is "shit" in French
- One dog poop joke, one fart joke (involving "Helen's special cheese")
- A few mild sex jokes, innuendo and phrases, e.g. "boobies".
- Some childish name-calling, e.g. "Lord Cuckoo-Face", "thick as a plank" and "bad hat".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Helen drinks from a glass which may have an alcoholic beverage, but otherwise there is no apparent sign or mentioning of smoking, street drugs or alcohol.
