What Parents Need to Know
About Casanova
Parents need to know that this romance is focused on the legendary 18th-century lothario, here revised to suit a secret identity plot and his romance with a proto-feminist writer. The film includes some raunchy sexual material, plus jokes about bodily functions (as well as verbal and visual jokes about one character's obesity). References are made to sexual pleasures, "whores," brothels, virgins, "fornication," as well as "coming" and "instrument" (as double entendres). Characters appear in various states of undress, women wear cleavage-revealing dresses. Characters drink at parties; one smokes cigarettes.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the representation of marriage, as a means to solidify one's social status, clear one's name, cover up for sexual activity, and gain money. Francesca's argument for women's rights and against men's objectification of women is simplistic but also provides grist for conversation: how can she make her point clear in a film where she's the primary romantic object?

It was o.k.
I expected this to be a bit funnier than it was. It's a good movie to rent if you're out of movies to watch, but I wouldn't put it on any immediate "must watch" list. The social behavior of Casanova of course is not one to be looked up to by teens, but the leading lady has some noble characteristics. Although much of the topics talk of sex and there are some light seens, I am a bit perplexed that this got an R rating, while movies showing much more graphic, steamier sex scenes receive a PG-13 rating.
