| Message | The idea of walking in someone else's shoes to learn empathy (in this case, literally) is a worthy one, but the positive potential of the movie's message is largely undermined by the fact that, for much of the movie, Max uses his special ability to commit crimes and do other ugly things (including taking advantage of stereotypes). |
| Role model | Although the main character isn't a great role model, he ends up trying to right his many wrongs. Supporting character Carmen is a community activist who's trying to help the small business owners and old-school residents of the Lower East Side. Mr. Solomon sticks to his convictions and refuses to sell out to a huge developer. Stereotypes come into play. |
| Violence | Characters are mugged, beaten, tortured, jolted with electricity, stabbed, and killed. A woman makes it clear that her ex had been physically abusing her. One of the people Max can turn into is dead, so he looks like a zombie and scares people when he's in that guise. While disguised as a woman's lover, Max almost takes advantage and has sex with her. |
| Sex | Max and Jimmy admire a model's body. When Max gets the chance to impersonate the model's boyfriend, he nearly showers/has sex with her but stops himself. |
| Language | Occasional strong language includes "s--t," "a--hole," and "bitch." |
