The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
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

We hear Iris' voice-over narration about different types of love, including the kind that can be found just for the night (as we see separate footage of Graham smiling at a young woman in a bar). There is one scene with Amanda and Graham in bed obviously immediately after sex and Amanda is in her bra. A lot of discussion about meaningless sex between Amanda and Graham in the movie.

Violence & Gore

Mad at Ethan for sleeping with someone else, Amanda twice throws a shoe at him. When he finally admits that he did sleep with that other woman, Amanda comes out and twice punches him in the face, sending him to the ground (played lightly).

Profanity

At least 2 "f" words (1 partially muffled), 1 "s" word, 5 slang terms for sex (variations of "shag" as well as "schtupping" and "got into her knickers"), 1 slang term using male genitals ("pr*ck," while another, "c*cker," isn't used in that context), 2 for breasts ("boobs"), 3 asses, 2 hells, 1 bugger, 6 uses each of "Oh God" and "Oh my God," 3 of "God" and 1 use each of "For God's sakes" and "My God."

Graham's girls have him do his "napkin head" routine where he puts a napkin over his face, glasses over that, and acts silly, including pretending a spoon is a cigarette (although he tells the girls that smoking is bad). There are a few scenes that include drinking alcohol.

Is a romantic comedy, there are no frightening/intense scenes.
