Black or White

"Black or White" is a great film fit for teens, starring Kevin Costner and Octavia Spencer, both great actors. Sex-there is no sexual content, except some sexual innuendo; a brief scene where Elliot says something to Duvon about Duvon's rectocele, which is non-existent because only girls have rectoceles (that's not mentioned in the movie, though). Reggie's sister is a lesbian and is shown with her partner in multiple scenes. At court, Elliot mentions that he can't help it that, when he looks at woman, the first thing he notices is her breasts. He says this to compare that the first time he looks at a black person, the first thing he notices is that they are black. Language-infrequent, strong language includes: hell, go to hell, damn, goddamn, Jesus!, s--t, bulls--t, a--, a--hole, son of a b--ch, n----r, and (one use of) motherf--ker. Violence-there are two fights, both between Elliot and Reggie. The first fight briefly shows them punching each other, no blood. The second is more graphic. Reggie is high on crack and Elliot is drunk on whisky. They beat each other up and wrestle. At one point, Elliot's forehead starts to bleed badly. He is so hurt, it makes him dizzy and wobbly when he walks. Reggie goes into the house to get Eloise, leaving Elliot. Meanwhile, Elliot tries to get up, but ends up falling into the pool with a solar cover on it. He sinks into it and almost drowns, but, eventually, Reggie saves him. Drinking/Drugs/Smoking-in most, if not every, scene, Elliot is shown drinking some type of alcohol, mostly whisky. He is a dangerous alcoholic and its affecting Eloise's life. Reggie is addicted to smoking crack. In one scene, before the fight, as mentioned before, Reggie is shown smoking crack. In another scene, Reggie shown smoking crack and is caught by his family, who he told he was sober. He is also briefly shown smoking a cigarette. Great movie recommended for teens and adults.
