Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

The film rather implies most of its content (unlike the book) than actually showing it. However, there are some scenes that are quite risque, including a scene in which two young children (maybe 12-14) climb into bed together fully naked. A scene of an adulterous liason, wife swapping at a swinger's key party.

Violence & Gore
