Why We Rated This for Ages 15–18

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  The men are chauvinistic and egotistical; their girlfriends sometimes excuse or celebrate this behavior (and at other times criticize it). Some of the women exhibit serious self-esteem issues. The featured men and women are from various racial/ethnic backgrounds.
• Violence:

  Arguments often break out between the couples. Although most of the guys are too concerned with their looks to fight, some box or spar at the gym with their shirts off -- but it's more about showing off their physique than their athletic abilities.
• Sex:

  Some strong sexual innuendo, including the men’s claims that they're good in bed. All of them consider themselves sexy; some claim to have had multiple sexual partners; many openly admit to cheating. Women are shown in skimpy outfits and bathing suits. Both men and women are sometimes seen dancing provocatively. Women are referred to as “chicks," while the terms “douchebag” and “tool” are frequently used to describe the men.
• Language:

  Words like “damn," "hell,” and “ass” are audible. Stronger curse words, like “a--hole," “s--t,” and “f--k” are bleeped. 
• Consumerism:

  Not an issue.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Frequent drinking (beer, hard liquor) at bars and parties; some of the men exhibit their “wild side” when they're drunk. Some visible smoking.
