Always Be My Maybe

Two men scuffle, mostly for comic effect, including a punch to the face. A character breaks a vase over his head (a little blood seen). Arguing/shouting.

Comic lovemaking in the back of a car (kissing, groping, limbs flailing, aftermath shown). Later, characters kiss, engage in foreplay, and are seen in bed with bare shoulders after sex. References to sexual experiences, condoms, same- and opposite-sex relationships, virginity, masturbation, and multiple sex partners. A drunk man's buttocks are seen when he pees in public.

Language includes "s--t," "a--hole," "bitch," "hell," "Jesus," "douche," "d--k," "butthole," and one use of "f--king."

Characters drink in multiple social settings; one instance of drunken behavior. Marcus smokes marijuana frequently, with no significant negative judgment.

Parents need to know that Always Be My Maybe is an upbeat romantic comedy about childhood BFFs that stars former Fresh Off the Boat colleagues Randall Park and Ali Wong (they also co-wrote it, and FOTB exec producer Nahnatchka Khan directs). It also features lots of sumptuous food and a thoughtful look at contemporary Asian American families. Expect sexual situations -- with kissing, passionate embraces, post-sex scenes in bed, and a comic back-seat-of-the-car hook-up -- as well as frank, casual conversations about virginity, masturbation, condoms, multiple partners, and more. Language includes "s--t," "bitch," "d--k," one use of "f--k," and more. Characters drink in social settings, and one of the main characters smokes pot in several scenes (with little negative judgment/consequence); he also gets drunk and pees onstage. The movie may tell a familiar tale -- "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back" -- but in this case, the girl calls most of the shots in the relationship. And there are clear messages about the value of family, integrity, hard work, compromise, and communication.
