Why We Rated This for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  In general, characters have their hearts in the right place, but they occasionally do questionable things in the name of a higher purpose. For instance, two doctors ignore an FDA decision and secretly test an experimental fertility drug on a human. One of them steals a frozen egg from another scientist's cryogenics research project. However, characters overall take responsibility for their actions.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  Dr. Hesse throws another character across a room. One scene shows a doctor injecting a long needle into a man's abdomen. During two separate childbirth scenes, a little blood is seen on a suction tube and on a newborn infant's head.
• Sex:

  A woman and man kiss, and later are interrupted while they're making out on a couch. The woman later suggests that they have sex, which occurs off-screen. A shelf of porno videos is briefly seen in a fertility doctor's office. It's understood that the videos are there to help men submit their sperm samples.
• Language:

  A few curse words, such as "s--t" and "bastard."
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  A character is shown smoking cigars.
