Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Our Brand Is Crisis stars Sandra Bullock and Billy Bob Thornton in a behind-the-scenes look at how political campaigns are conducted -- a cutthroat, cynical, play-dirty, intense affair that might be too heavy for younger viewers. Expect swearing ("f--k," "s--t" and more), as well as some sexual references (including to masturbation), trash-talking, yelling, and scenes showing police clashing with protestors. Characters, including some supposedly on the wagon, drink, sometimes to excess, and smoke.

Sexual Content

References to masturbation. Gossip about who's sleeping with whom.

Violence

A mass protest takes a turn for the worse, with cops firing tear gas into crowds, further inflaming them. Also insult-hurling and screaming within a campaign. A political consultant plays mind games with a competitor, sometimes resorting to trash talk and diabolical machinations.

Language

Language includes "f--k," "s--t," "a--hole," "damn," "hell," and more.

Social Behavior

Lots of cynicism here, but also: If you're seeking truth and purpose in your field of work, you can still find meaning. And it's important to be clear-eyed about the people you elect to office.

Consumerism

Amazon is mentioned.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Loads of smoking and drinking, including by someone who's supposedly been sober for years. One character offers others coca.
