Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 16–18

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The film does not include a single character who is not in some way disturbed. The main women (and child) all appear to be struggling with emotional issues. That struggle manifests itself in alternating hateful/selfish and caring behavior. The film also includes a slew of bad relationships.

  • Violence:

    Off-screen dog attack.

  • Sex:

    Discussions of threesomes, heavy petting, extended foreplay, extended full-female nudity, teenage sex with a middle-aged woman.

  • Language:

    A homophobic slur, sexually vulgar language, swearing from and at children, and a racist/anti-Semitic joke.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Casual drinking by adults, underage drinking (at the behest of an adult).

About Lovely and Amazing

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the title. Do you think any of these characters are lovely or amazing? Do you think the title was a good choice? How do you think movies get their titles in general? How important is the title to you? Families may also want to talk about the body image issues presented here. How do you think Jane's decision to have liposuction impacts her young overweight daughter -- or her grown underweight one?
