Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this romantic comedy takes up a serious theme, the tensions that emerge in interracial dating. It features sexual references and situations, including a couple of gentle kissing scenes and one gently framed sex scene (body parts and faces in close-up). Characters use slang for intercourse and genitalia (e.g., "hoochie," "bone"). At a comedy club, the routine, focused on interracial dating, includes jokes about the DC Sniper and white men being serial killers. Characters drink at parties and at dinner.

Sexual Content

Partial nudity, but in very close shots; several sweet kissing scenes; the single sex scene is tasteful; sexual allusions ("pleasuring myself," "magic hoochie," "Can he bone?") and slang for interracial dating ("skiing the slopes," "sleeping with the enemy," "jungle gardening"); rowdy comedy club routine on interracial dating.
