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.

Two teenagers discuss haveing sex, the girl then lays on her back on a sofa and the boy climbs on top of her and begins to undo his pants, they are interupted by her father.

Violence & Gore

Someone dies from electrocution, and their lifeless body slides along the ice, face down. Its not overly graphic but its disturbing

Profanity

3 teens get together to smoke cannabis, drink beer, and abuse perscription medication Two of them pass out. A teenage boy and girl share a bottle of vodka in bed. An adult passes out from drinking too much. Many characters smoke. Two teens smoke from a bong at school.
