City Island Review

Messages: While the movie is full of positive messages -- including that secrets, when left to fester, can complicate matters and even destroy relationships, and family matters -- these messages are hidden between iffy (if funny) content about teenage sexual fetishes, underage smoking, and yelling as a form of family communication.

Role models: Teens smoke, use Internet porn, and everyone lies and yells -- at least at first -- so are not ideal role models. But they each find a way to reveal their true selves, especially Vince. He best exemplifies the importance of following one's inner compass, and how doing something you love might just make you love life -- and appreciate what you have -- a whole lot more.

Violence: Members of a family communicate by yelling. A fight breaks out between two men and one guy brandishes a knife. In the same scene, a character is chained to a lamp post by another.

Sex: A teenage boy visits porn sites featuring scantily clad overweight women. He appears to fetishize them. A married woman flirts and kisses a younger man who's not her husband. A college girl works at a strip bar (we see her and her co-workers dancing while scantily clad).

Language: Somewhat strong, including "bitch," "s--t," and "whore."

Consumerism: Some signage for stores, plus car makes like the Ferrari and the Impala are name-dropped.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: Spouses promise each other they'll quit smoking but they both continue to do so behind each other's backs. The entire family, in fact, smokes, including the kids (a teenager and a college girl). One character's mother is described as an alcoholic and drug addict, though she's never introduced. Social drinking (beer, martinis). A character talks about pot.
