Country Remedy

Parents need to know that Country Remedy was released theatrically as Simple Things. Mourning the loss of a loved one is a prominent theme. There's some mild gore in the form of blood on hands and clothing and the showing of a surgical incision. A minor character screams during childbirth, the baby's life is in peril, and (spoiler alert) eventually it dies. There's an incident of bullying with shoving and knocking ice cream out of a kid's hand, but the bullies eventually come around when they're asked to help out. A couple of scenes are dark with scary noises. Profanity includes "poop," "sucks," and "crap."  A woman flirts, moves suggestively, and uses mild sexual innuendo.  A "lovable town drunk"-type is shown passed out and behaving drunkenly, and his tendency to fall off the bed is played for comedy. He sobers up as the story goes along. The cast is not diverse, but a woman is the town mayor. The main characters are positive role models in the sense that they don't behave badly, but neither the lessons they learn nor the movie's positive messages about how to get along are conveyed very strongly.
