Bad Therapy

Parents need to know that Bad Therapy is a comedy-thriller that's not particularly violent but has lots of iffy behavior. Middle schoolers vape marijuana and get caught, but there aren't any consequences. There's drunk driving and a pregnant woman who drinks and takes tranquilizers. A woman unbuttons a man's shirt, caresses and straddles him, and later a "blow job" is mentioned. Marital infidelity gets a strong reaction at first, but ultimately everything goes back to normal without much discussion. A middle schooler is seen around the house in her underwear; later there's some implications of her stepfather looking at her and "thinking about her that way." Strong language isn't frequent but includes "s--t," "motherf--ker," and "a--hole." An adult threatens a middle schooler by slashing her cheek with a permanent marker. Otherwise violence includes a punch in the face, kidnapping, threatening with a knife, and biting. A character is chloroformed, gagged, and tied up. There aren't any very good role models, but a variety of skin tones and ethnicities are represented in the supporting and background cast. Positive messages are weak, and iffy messages, especially about women, are plentiful.
