Here's a quick look at the content found in this drama that's been rated PG-13. Profanity consists of at least 1 use of the "f" word, while plenty of other expletives and colorful phrases are used throughout the film (with some also occurring in songs that play on the soundtrack).
Some non-explicit, sexually related comments are made, while the beginning of a sexual encounter is seen (with kissing and the initial removal of some clothes). During many of the film's dance scenes, the participants engage in suggestive dancing and the camera often focuses on their body parts involved in that activity. We also learn that a supporting teenage character has a baby from a deadbeat father.
Other bad attitudes are present, and since the two main characters get into an interracial relationship, various characters have bad attitudes related to that. There's also a thug who's in a perpetually bad mood, gets into fights and is involved in a drive-by shooting, all while trying to drag his friend into the fray. Other violence occurs, including another drive-by shooting and a mother's death in a car accident (in a flashback), and some of those scenes have slightly bloody results and may be tense and/or unsettling to some viewers.
That death creates some tense family moments (the daughter feels guilty about it), while various teenagers drink, smoke and behave in ways that some impressionable kids might want to imitate. Finally, all sorts of topics to talk about are present throughout the film (based on what occurs within it). Should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness for anyone in your home who wishes to see it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed content listings for more specific examples of what occurs in it.
