Talking Points:

The film has an all-star, to name a few…Jennifer Aniston, Chris Pine, Jason Bateman, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz.

Between the sexual contents and crude language, this is not an appropriate film for kids/pre-teens. See details below:

Sexual Content: Excessive

• Julia (Jennifer Aniston) claims to be a sex addict. She seduces a happily married man and has a sexual encounter with another man, in her dental office (she’s a dentist). We see pictures of the couple on a security camera, though it’s very fuzzy.
• There are sexual references and conversations throughout the whole film. Some topics include…oral sex, male/female body parts, sexual positions, homosexual encounters, rape and much more.

Violent/Disturbing Content: Moderate

• A man is shot and killed
• A character repeatedly hits himself and bangs his head on a table, so that he will appear beaten up.
• Rex (Chris Pine) is very rude and disrespectful to his Hispanic housekeeper. She responds by sticking his toothbrush down the  back of her pants and proceeds to rub vigorously. A few minutes later we see Rex brushing his teeth with that same toothbrush. This was a disgusting scene.

Crude or Profane Language: Excessive

• Every swear word you can imagine and more were used throughout the film.

Drug and Alcohol Content: Moderate

• Several scenes are set in a bar where we see character’s drinking alcoholic beverages.
• Character’s attempt to steal nitrous oxide from Julia’s dental office.

Will it appeal to most teens? Yes

Overall this is a silly comedy with a lot of inappropriate parts woven throughout the film.

It's only fair to share...
