I mean I can't be the only kid to have seen this movie. It's a beautiful take on Cole Porter's life, now I do understand he is gay, but that should not be an issue for any of you. If it is I am ashamed, appauled, and most importantly disgusted. Granted, yes, there are many sexual scenes but nothing that should turn you away from something like this wonderful movie.

What Parents Need to Know
About De-Lovely
Parents need to know that this movie has explicit sexual references for a PG-13. A theme of the movie is Porter's life as a semi-closeted gay man and the stress this put on his relationship with his wife. There is also a reference to a miscarriage (including some blood), the (offscreen) death of a child, and severe injury resulting from a horseback-riding accident. Characters drink and smoke a great deal (one dies of emphysema).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what drew Cole and Linda to each other. What did each of them want from the relationship? What did each of them get? Families may want to discuss Cole's bitterness at the end of his life. Would he have been so bitter if he had spent more of his time differently? What do people have to do to maintain a sense of satisfaction and the ability to continue to develop relationships with others at the end of their lives?
