Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Thanks for Sharing is an ensemble dramedy that deals with some serious issues, particularly addiction to drugs, alcohol, and -- especially -- sex. There's frank, open discussion about things characters have done to satiate their cravings, and a few scenes show one character performing criminal acts to feed his addiction, including surreptitiously filming his supervisor up her skirt and rubbing up against a fellow subway passenger. Characters swear often ("f--k," "s--t," and more), and there are a few sex scenes, including a montage of a couple in various positions (no genitals are shown) and implied masturbation.

Sexual Content

Frank talk about sex addiction and the triggers for it. A quick montage of a man in various sexual positions with a woman (no genitals shown). Characters are shown masturbating -- viewers don't see their private parts, but it's clear what they're doing. A woman talks about her dysfunctional sex life with her ex-boyfriend in somewhat graphic terms. Pornographic photos on DVD holders are glimpsed briefly. A woman performs a lap dance for her boyfriend.
