Despite its PG-13 action-toy premise, the script includes Sam's parents openly discussing his masturbation habits in an awkward family scene, along with a surprising amount of strong language (s**t, a**, b**ch, b**tard) for a film largely marketed to younger audiences.
About Transformers
A teenage boy named Sam discovers his first car is actually a giant alien robot named Bumblebee, and gets swept into an all-out war between the heroic Autobots and villainous Decepticons who are searching for a powerful artifact called the All Spark. The film is a loud, effects-driven action blockbuster mixing military combat, huge robot battles, and teen coming-of-age humor.
