  • Overview
  • Details
Trader Jake (Shia LaBeouf) tries to mend the broken relationship between his fiancée, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), and her father, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), while avenging the fate of his mentor, Lou (Frank Langella), by getting close to Wall Street's new megalomaniac, Bretton James (Josh Brolin). Centered on the 2008 financial crisis, director Oliver Stone's follow-up is a modern-day ode to unfettered capitalism and, of course, greed.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this Wall Street drama is not R-rated like the original, probably so that star Shia LaBeouf's considerable teen appeal can have maximum impact. The themes, however, are still just as heavy: money, the global economy, politics, family dysfunction. The language is strong (including "f--k"), and there's plenty of consumerism, but the sexuality is tamer than in the first. Ultimately the message is that although money makes the world go round, you need your family more than a seven-figure bank account.

Sexual Content

A couple lives together and is shown kissing in bed (he's shirtless, she wears a nightdress). The couple kisses and embraces several times but is never shown having sex. Several scantily clad women are shown in a couple of nightclub scenes.

Violence

An elderly man jumps in front of a subway train to commit suicide.

Language

Language includes a couple of uses of "f--k," as well as "s--t," "ass," "bitch," "a--hole," "damn," "hell," "crap," "goddamn," "oh my God," and the like.

Social Behavior

The movie's messages are timeless -- that money can make you temporarily happy, but in the end it's your family that is most important. If you have money and power, but no one to love -- no one who even cares enough about you to pick you up from prison -- then your priorities aren't in order.

Consumerism

Brands include Apple, Ducati, Bulgari, and quick shots of various high-end luxury stores and items.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Lots of drinking and cigar smoking among the Wall Street brokers and executives. References to a drug overdose.
