Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the protagonist is a devout bachelor, now middle-aged, who has left behind many women. Characters use curse words (mostly in conversation, and at the end, during a fight), smoke, drink, and use drugs (as well as slang for drugs, especially marijuana). Stereotypical bikers briefly assault Don at the end, leaving him bloodied and unconscious. The film includes sexual imagery (a post-sex morning awakening, an adolescent girl nude [not explicit] and in her underwear) and references (to past relationships).

Sexual Content

Sexual references and brief images (nudity, not activity).

Violence

A very brief, brutal assault at the end.

Language

Mostly "hipster" cursing (some f-words); angry cursing in one brief scene.

Social Behavior

Protagonist has a long history of many abandoned girlfriends, a teenager is seductive to her mother's ex.

Consumerism

Car rentals, car race logos (briefly glimpsed in photos).

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some drinking, smoking, pot-smoking.
