What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this film contains a lot of very strong language, which the main characters use freely. Mike and Trent spend a lot of the film discussing women in unflattering ways. Although there are no scenes of nudity, but ther'is a scene where Mike interrupts Trent and a woman during sex. Much of the film takes place in bars, and the main characters drink a lot of alcohol, smoke, and gamble. There]s also a scene of potential violence where a gun is drawn during a fight but not fired.

Good movie, but only for older teens
There is a lot of talk about sex, but by about 15 most teens are talking about this same stuff everyday at school, so it won't be anything new. There is also a surprisingly positive message at the end of the movie that I won't give away, but it lessens the chance that teens will see one of the more morally ambiguous characters as a good role model. The only major concern is that the movie glorifies drinking & smoking. Overall, a pretty good movie that will be fine for older teenagers.
