Super Review

Messages: It’s a little murky, and the violence is played for laughs, but perhaps the messages are that you can’t save someone else until you save yourself and that what you think may be the solution to a problem could actually just muddy the waters even more. Also: When life hands you lemons, go for broke and make a lemon meringue pie. Let everyone else settle for lemonade.

Role models: Though Frank appears well intentioned (and his loyalty to Sarah is admirable), he’s not exactly a role model. Despite her failings, Sarah is someone who seeks out answers/solutions, which, apparently, is better than being complacent.

Violence: A man in disguise clobbers people with a wrench; though he reserves that treatment for those who "hurt others," there’s little distinction in his definition of what that means between real crimes and, say, keying a car. Another man is bludgeoned with a decorative object. There's a major guns-ablaze showdown with explosives on the side. A man forces himself on a strung-out girl. People are shot point blank.

Sex: A man and a woman have sex (no nudity, just movements), and it doesn’t seem at first like he thinks it’s a good idea. A flashback scene shows a guy in the middle of a sex act displaying his behind; a separate imagined sequence shows a man having sex with another man (no outright nudity).

Language: Everything from “bitch,” “whore,” and “a--hole” to "f--k" and "c--t."

Consumerism: Some product placement, including InTouch magazine; comic book-series name-dropping.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: A man shoots a girl up with drugs. Friends pass a bong around. One of the supporting characters is a drug dealer.
