Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that death is the main theme of this movie. Vada's mother died while giving birth to her (this is never depicted; only alluded to). A main character dies tragically from bee stings (again, the death is off screen). This sudden, unexpected death is bound to have an emotional impact on impressionable viewers. Divorce is mentioned, and there are a few obtuse references to sex.

Sexual Content

Obscure references to sex and the sexual revolution.

Violence

A character dies offscreen from bee stings.

Language

The "s" word, "ass." One character calls her friend a "retard."

Social Behavior

Consumerism
