Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that, compared to the sexual and violent content of some of today's PG-13 films, this one is tame. But its themes of relative morality are definitely adult in nature. The violence (infrequent but sudden) serves specific purposes. A bar brawl is spurred by some GIs' racist behavior; an explosion at the same bar (which kills two people) sets up storylines that ultimately question the premise of the Vietnam War, as well as the freedom of information allowed at that time. Foul language occurs mostly in the form of jokes.

Sexual Content

Several jokes based on sex. Soldiers socialize with what appear to be Vietnamese prostitutes in a bar.

Violence

There is a bar brawl and a bomb blows up at a bar, the latter of which shows the dead and wounded. There is also a sequence of shots during the song "What A Wonderful World" that depict war time violence (e.g. burning villages, explosions, people being executed).

Language

Frequent swearing in both comedic and serious moments.

Social Behavior

Questions the premise of the Vietnam War, as well as the freedom of information.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some drinking and smoking. The main character gets drunk once.
