This movie has a lot of misguided morals. The sons have been taught that it is all right to steal, cheat, etc. However, the father has been rethinking what he taught them, and these things are (eventually) made to look bad. There's language in the movie and the father is having an affair, but nothing else. If you can stay awake through the whole thing, you might like it.
