What Parents Need to Know
About Playing Mona Lisa
Parents need to know that Claire experiences depression, causing her parents to worry if she'll ever be herself again. Claire's friends believe women must play games to attract men. A gay man who's in denial about his sexuality gets engaged to a woman to keep up appearances. A man implies that he's smarter than the woman he likes because she's a cheerleader. Occasional mild to moderate profanity, with one extreme expletive. Many characters drink excessively, smoke, and use drugs. A character puts drugs in the party food. An engaged character cheats on her fiance. Lots of sex talk, including discussions of orgasms, orgies, and penises. Claire pretends that she has slept with women to impress men. Several female characters dress provocatively, and we see Claire in her underwear. Some passionate kissing. Claire's friend kicks Claire's cheating boyfriend in the groin.
