Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this film's straightforwardness is bound to make its ideas about sex, romance, and religion convincing to a late-teen audience in search of answers for life's toughest questions. Sex, however, is only implied and is dealt with in a very serious, respectful manner. There's a bit of language, and not much action, so teens who are looking for a shoot 'em up movie will be sorely disappointed.

Sexual Content

Lots of frank discussion of sex and love, with some kissing, and the implication of sex.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Some casual swearing.

Social Behavior

Celebrates youth, spontaneity, romance, adventure, and explores themes of honesty, identity, commitment all in a very intellectual way.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some casual drinking.
