* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: In a G-rated fashion. Sonia and Todd are implied to get a little frisky on the couch one night. Later, Sonia persuades Todd to go to Denver by saying if he does, she will... (we don't hear what she whispers, but there is no way it isn't sexual).

* VomitDiscretionShot: Arguably necessary, considering we're dealing with a religious film in which one kid had a ruptured appendix, which results in vomit galore. There is, however, a very brief VomitIndiscretionShot when Colton's older sister Cassie has the stomach flu--we see orange gunk in the tub.
