Parents need to know
Families can talk about Robbie's decisions and why he made the choices he did.
Message
Social Behavior:
You wouldn't necessarily want your kids acting like many of these characters.
Consumerism:
Heavy promotion (on the VHS tape) of a double-disc soundtrack and plentiful trailers for other New Line Video releases. In the movie itself a kid runs around costumed as horror character Freddy "Nightmare on Elm Street" Krueger, from the same film studio.
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Everyone gets extremely drunk when upset, even the supposedly-responsible hero (who sarcastically urges another character to drink heavily and then drive home).
Violence
A few punches thrown.
Sex
All talking and teasing, some of it at locker-room level.
Language
At the border of PG-13/R territory.

Is it any good?
Sandler is a perennial kids' favorite thanks to recurring shtick as a grown man who (mis)behaves like a little boy. This comedy nicely lets Sandler mature a little bit onscreen, partially by surrounding him with characters significantly dumber and less upstanding than Robbie is. Robbie isn't pretentious or stuck on his own gallantry. He's polite in turning down sexual overtures from a Madonna-wannabe (Christine Taylor), and he even tries to convince Glenn to treat Julia better, before he realizes that he himself and Julia are a perfect match. It's not the most original comedy, but it's cute, and Robbie's situation could inspire the start of a discussion about ethical choices.
