Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the considerable swearing, drinking, and political diatribes make this a more mature movie. Plus John has sexual fantasies about a news anchor and masturbates, and it's implied that John sleeps with Gloria. There's also some smoking, including pot. The subject matter is likely to be objectionable to families who aren't pretty left-leaning politically.

Sexual Content

John makes an obscene comment about George Bush looking like he's "Curious George getting a handjob." John masturbates to a newscast. Gloria hits on John. John and Chloe kiss. It's implied that John and Gloria have sex.

Violence

Chloe punches John. Another American brandishes a gun and says he has a plan to kill the president. Chloe steals the man's gun and holds it up to him.

Language

Considerable swearing, including "ass," "f--k," "tight ass," "bitch," "godamn," "holy s--t," "piss," "dick," "p--y," and "asshole."

Social Behavior

Some slurs, including calling Middle Eastern people "rag heads," and patriotic people "flag monkeys." Chloe lies about who she is and desserts her regiment.

Consumerism

Some brands are visible, including Curious George, Puma, Quaker Oats, Luna Bars, and Apple laptops.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Considerable drinking, and on at least two occasions, John and Chloe get very drunk. Gloria smokes pot. A Vietnam-era draft-dodger smokes a cigarette.
