I thought that this movie although it uses some sexual references is ok for mature tweens and teens because it teaches the consequences of lying and shows how one lie can change lives.

What Parents Need to Know
About Labor Pains
Parents need to know that this movie is laden with casual references to sex (talk about “doing the nasty” as well as terms like “skank,” “undersexed,” and references to virginity), some strong language (“ass,” “hell,” and a few uses of “s--t," which are bleeped for TV broadcast), smoking, drinking, and generally irresponsible behavior. The main chararacter fakes a pregnancy to save her job, and even the inevitable revelation of her deceit doesn't have strong repercussions. Despite some worthwhile character development and a few obvious lessons about industriousness and honesty, teens will be more influenced by the movie’s misleading messages about responsibility and relationships than by anything positive.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the movie's messages about the consequences of sex and unplanned pregnancy. Are they realistic? Can you think of other shows or movies that have a different take on the topic? Is it the media's responsibility to present this content in a realistic manner?
- Teens: What are your responsibilities at this point in your life? What repercussions do you face if you don’t fulfill them? How do your choices now affect the course of your future?
- How is your impression of TV shows and movies influenced by your perception of the people who star in them? Do you think celebrities are held to a different standard than regular people? Do they have a responsibility to be positive role models for young fans?

It was good
It really wasn't a bad movie.my parents saw it with me and they even agreed it was ok.BTW they don't let me watch all TV-14 stuff.At the most if your a child under 13 then just watch it with an adult so they can explain it to you.
