Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Although the premise of the film is an office worker who lends his apartment to his associates for adulterous trysts, there is no nudity or sex seen in the film. Even references to sex are oblique phrases such as "seeing someone," "getting lucky," or "a little ring-a-ding-ding." A man is called a "lover" and a "sexpot." It is assumed that many if not most "happily married men" cheat on their wives, and occasionally their girlfriends will even cheat on them as well.

Violence & Gore

There is a suicide attempt by an overdose of Seconal although we don't actually see the pills being swallowed.

Profanity

There's nothing stronger than "hell," which is said a couple of times.

There is quite a bit of smoking and drinking throughout the film with no moral judgments at all. Even the doctor smokes. Especially notable is a Christmas party at the office with most of the employees roaring drunk. There's even a drunken Santa Claus.

There are three moments of dread when we think that people might have killed themselves.
