Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this hilarious comedy about a disfunctional family addresses such squeamish subjects as teens using Internet fetish porn, young women working in strip clubs (with scenes of barely dressed dancers), and a criminal past. Also, the whole family smokes (and lies about it), plus there's some swearing ("bitch," "s--t"), though not much, and lots of raised voices -- this clan likes to yell -- but there's also plenty of love.
Sexual
Content
A teenage boy visits porn sites featuring scantily clad overweight women. He appears to fetishize them. A married woman flirts and kisses a younger man who's not her husband. A college girl works at a strip bar (we see her and her co-workers dancing while scantily clad).
Violence
Members of a family communicate by yelling. A fight breaks out between two men and one guy brandishes a knife. In the same scene, a character is chained to a lamp post by another.
Language
Somewhat strong, including "bitch," "s--t," and "whore."
Social
Behavior
While the movie is full of positive messages -- including that secrets, when left to fester, can complicate matters and even destroy relationships, and family matters -- these messages are hidden between iffy (if funny) content about teenage sexual fetishes, underage smoking, and yelling as a form of family communication.
Consumerism
Some signage for stores, plus car makes like the Ferrari and the Impala are name-dropped.
Drugs / Tobacco /
Alcohol
Spouses promise each other they'll quit smoking but they both continue to do so behind each other's backs. The entire family, in fact, smokes, including the kids (a teenager and a college girl). One character's mother is described as an alcoholic and drug addict, though she's never introduced. Social drinking (beer, martinis). A character talks about pot.
