What Parents Need to Know
About Boogie Nights
Parents need to know that this movie isn't meant for kids or teenagers. With its heavy emphasis on illegal substance abuse, promiscuous sex and violence (not to mention an ambiguous code of ethics that blurs right from wrong), the film glamorizes the high-profile lives of pornographers in the late 70s and early 80s.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the obvious personal, social, and self-destructive ramifications involved with the dangerous lifestyle portrayed in this glitzy, disco-era culture of excess. It should also be explained that the film is a time-period piece of a halcyon, hazy period of innocence (the 70s) in American culture that has long since passed and can't, for a variety of reasons, be re-lived today.
