What Parents Need to Know

About Wild Things 2

Parents need to know that this movie isn't intended for younger viewers. There are several scenes depicting nudity and love-making, including a scene with two high school aged girls and an older man. The characters use sex for leverage in a murky plot involving the riches of a deceased millionaire. Characters swear frequently. In the last half of the film, there are depictions of shootings, stabbings, and attempted strangulations. Teens engage in drinking with no legal consequences and an alcoholic character is presumed to have committed suicide.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the fact that very few of the characters striving for personal gain through crime actually achieve it. Does crime pay? Is any amount of money worth the repeated betrayals depicted in the film?
