Why We Rated This for Ages 13 and Up

The good stuff

• Messages:

  Portrays a heartfelt transformation of a malcontent into a giving person. But before he changes, he's quite nasty: He's rude to patients, colleagues, and neighbors. At first, a man seems cavalier about his infidelity. There's a plot to deceive a woman, though there's some remorse after it happens.

What to watch out for

• Violence:

  Buses hit people head-on, but viewers don't see any gore. Some discussion about how certain people have died. Some yelling.
• Sex:

  A man talks about having a mistress, but viewers don't see them together. Some jokes about a mummy's private parts; one of the minor ghosts is naked, but nothing sensitive is shown.
• Language:

  Not particularly frequent use, but some strong words, including "f--k," "s--t," "ass," and "goddamn."
• Consumerism:

  Signage for New York City buses, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bulgari. One character holds a BlackBerry and talks of it wistfully.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Some discussion of prescription drugs and jokes about abusing them. Some social drinking.
