Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the movie includes repeated references to dating, body descriptions ("voluptuous"), and sex, including a couple of scenes in bed, and one in a shower (here the protagonist is naked, her back to the camera, alone and upset), as well as some party drinking. A woman ends up on a blind date with her father. There is some mild profanity. As its focus is Internet dating, the film also shows how it involves performing, deceiving, and self-deluding. A middle-aged woman "chats" with and attracts the attentions of a 15-year-old, whom she sends home immediately.

Sexual Content

Sexual references and discussions of Internet dating, some sex scenes, a shot of a woman showering (back to camera).

Violence

Brief, antic running and falling. A kid gets a bloody nose.

Language

Jokey sexual references, one s-word and mild profanity like "damn".

Social Behavior

Lying on the Internet to get dates, romantic cheating.

Consumerism

Generic/fictional coffee shop and Internet sites.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some drinking.
