What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Extensive discussion of doing what it takes to get ahead; discussion of Canada's reputation for polite citizenry for comedic, exaggerated affect; some discussion of racial stereotypes. Some flatulence humor, and humor around people's reactions to flatulence humor. Some discussion of Latino laborers as a subculture within the store.

• Sex:

  Kissing; sexual activity and language overheard through a thin apartment wall, references to homosexuality and auto-eroticism.
• Language:

  Fairly constant and inventive language, including "a--hole," "p---y," "s--t," "dick," "bastard," "f--k," "faggot," "titties," and "Jesus." Two uses of the word "negro" (used to mock the out-of-date and insensitive nature of the term).
• Consumerism:

  Since the film is set in a grocery store, many brands are visible; at the same time, only a few brands are mentioned by name as they figure into the plot, including "Tater Tots," "Yoo Hoo," and "Pepsi."
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Cigarette smoking; a character smokes marijuana twice, and alludes to a past as a drug and alcohol addict.
