Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie is nothing more than people sitting around drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes and talking about various things. This film has no plot and no story structure. It's a series of vignettes, short scenes that are like little slices of life. There is no violence or sexuality and some profanity, but the content of the film is based on conversation of rather mundane experiences.

Sexual Content

Not applicable

Violence

Not applicable

Language

A lot of use of the F-word.

Social Behavior

To some extent it glorifies drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, making it seem somewhat "cool," though there is much discussion of the negative health implications of drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes.

Consumerism

Some mention of fast food chains in random discussion, but no major commercialism.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

A lot of cigarette smoking.
