Parents need to know that this film has some explicit sexual references and situations for a PG-13, though there's no nudity. Characters use strong language, drink, and smoke. Some viewers may be disturbed by the economic upheavals and lay-offs.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about some of their own experiences in the workplace with difficult supervisors or pressure to meet aggressive financial goals. Some family members may want to learn a little bit more about the pressures that create opportunities for those, like Teddy K, to exploit employees and investors for their own benefit.

    I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it 4.0

    Had the potential to be great...

    ...but the plot was a little too predictable. The actors, however, were fantastic. Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson, and Dennis Quaid all put in fabulous performances and made what could have been a horribly boring, inconsequential flick into a film that captured both work and family life without trivializing either.
