Language: There is some profanity used throughout the film, including one use of the F-word. The film portrays an "old boys club" mentality — hence, the language. One character talks about the women who will be fawning over him and what he plans to do with them.

Nudity: There is one scene with a low-cut blouse while the character is playing pool. Another scene has two actors stripping to swim in a lake. They are not skinny-dipping, though. It was a nice symbolic gesture for the characters to keep their clothes on.

Smoking/drinking: Clint Eastwood's character is an older man who is stuck in his ways. As such, he smokes a cigar a lot because it's what he does. There are some bar scenes and there is some drunkenness portrayed.

For a PG-13 film, this one is fairly tame. It is appropriately rated and an age 13-plus audience would be fine watching "Trouble With the Curve." There are some nice moments of poetic justice that happen late in the movie and they are well worth the time to watch.
