Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this film features 20-something recent college graduates who drink, smoke, and sleep around. There are few consequences for their behavior, save for a very mild subplot in which one of the characters takes an AIDS test (she tests negative). However, the characters generally mean well, and parents who don't object to depictions of sex and drug/alcohol use may find their behavior towards each other acceptable.

Sexual Content

Characters are shown engaging in casual sex with multiple partners. One character has an HIV scare.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Not applicable

Social Behavior

The characters generally mean well, but they take everything from sex to drug use very casually.

Consumerism

Characters explicitly discuss the merits of the Big Gulp. Dominos is mentioned and is featured in the narrative as is Evian.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Characters are shown smoking cigarettes and marijuana and drinking beer and other alcohol.
