What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this film includes sexual imagery ("comic" sex scenes, against a wall, passionate-awkward kissing, in a suds-filled tub) and language (slang for genitals and sexual activity). The film also includes language that pushes the PG-13 edge, including one f-word and especially, repetition of the word "bitch" (which Jazmin uses in reference to herself as well as the "skinny bitches" she hates). Some antic violence (as when Jazmin hits a girl and a man who call her "fat," or drops objects from her apartment window and hits her cousin on the sidewalk).
- Families can talk about how the film argues for plus-size women's self-esteem, usually at the (comic) expense of thin women. How do men's judgments shape women's self-images? How does Jazmin find a new sense of self-worth by helping plus-size women?
