Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

None actually.

We see a car moving rhythmically and we see a man and woman inside with their clothing in disarray. Men talk about a woman's breasts while watching her play soccer. Women undress, to bras and panties, in a locker room. A woman and her daughter shop in a lingerie store, and the woman pushes up her daughter's breasts. A woman makes a sexual hand gesture.

At the wedding there is a couple kissing passionately in the toilets - the man's hand is clearly massaging the woman's breast - they are fully clothed and the scene is momentary. A fight breaks out later that implies that this has been caught on the wedding video camera.

Violence & Gore

A woman shoves another woman, tears her shirt and pushes her to the ground (during a soccer match). A woman slams a soccer ball into a man's crotch. A woman yells at, insults her daughter, and raises her hand to her. People argue and struggle over a video camera. A woman has a large scar on her leg and we hear that she was burned when she was young (in one scene a man teases her about it), and a man has a scar on his knee. There are some bumps and scuffles on the soccer field; one woman is hurt during a game and falls to the field holding her leg.

Profanity

5 sexual references, 9 scatological terms, 5 anatomical terms, 14 mild obscenities, 1 derogatory term for Indians, 1 derogatory term for homosexuals, 7 religious exclamation.

People are shown smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol.

Aspirations, racism, culture, honor, independence, homosexuality, divorce, parental pressure, parental pride, respect for elders, pride, leaving home, football, long-distance relationships, interracial relationships, letting go of your children.
