Talking Points:

It’s a cute, fun movie with a couple of good twists.

Reed, Ashton Kutcher, has some great lines. “If you’re ever with a girl that’s too good for you, marry her.”

I thought the movie was appropriately rated, PG13, though parents may feel uncomfortable with some scenes.

The movie got a little boring, I looked at my watch several times throughout the movie.

Sexual Content: Moderate

• When we are first introduced to many of the Valentine’s Day lovers, they’re shown in bed, wearing skimpy clothes. One couple alluded to the wild sex they had just enjoyed the night before.

• Anne Hathaway’s character is an adult phone entertainer. We hear many suggestive conversations with her on the phone.

• I felt most uncomfortable when the high school couple, who are madly in love with each other, plan a romantic encounter. Fortunately, their plans change when the girl decides it’s not the right time. This couple also kiss very passionately several times in school.

• One couple gets into a fight, when they reunite, they can’t wait for the “make up sex.”

Violent Content: None

Crude or Profane Language: Moderate

• Some swearing throughout the film.

Drugs and Alcohol Content: Moderate

• Characters drink alcohol in some scenes.
  

I interviewed kids ages 5 to 16. Most of the kids liked it, though a couple of girls also thought it got too long. Two 16 year old boys also really liked it, especially the twists in the movie.

I know some fourth grade girls that wanted to see this movie because Taylor Swift is in it. I would not recommend it for young girls, I think it’s fine for girls 13 and up. A great date night movie too.

Overall, it was a fun movie, though the story line got a little too long and boring. But be forewarned, sex is a common theme in the movie. I give it 3 buckets.
