2 Days in Paris Review

Messages: Trust is important in a relationship, and men and women need to be able to recognize that talking to people of the opposite sex, even ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends, isn't necessarily cheating.

Role models: Jack and Marion seem to love each other and they work through some complex relationship issues with thoughtfulness and passion. Their relationship is tested when one starts to doubt the fidelity of the other, and his suspicions prompt him to see the worst in everything.

Violence: Several heated arguments, some involving racial epithets and people screaming about romantic relationships gone sour.

Sex: Many graphic references to a variety of sexual acts. Some scenes feature photos of nude men. A couple fools around underneath a quilt in an encounter that's anything but romantic.

Language: Plenty of swearing, in English and French, including "f--k," "s--t," "d--k," "c--k," "p---y," "ass" and "bitch." Many references to various sexual techniques, including oral and anal sex. Some derogatory talk about Arabs, in French.

Consumerism: A photographer uses a Polaroid camera.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: People drink wine and beer at meals and parties, and sometimes smoke cigarettes.
