Parents' Guide to Mr. Nice

Parents need to know that Mr. Nice is a biopic of Howard Marks (Rhys Ifans), the famed Welsh drug dealer, adapted from his own bestselling autobiography. Because of the nature of Marks' work, there are few positive messages with nearly all characters motivated by money and greed. These characters are frequently shown to be living luxurious lifestyles off the back off their criminal activities. Marks himself is polite and personable, and he remains affectionate and close to his family when he can. Marijuana is smoked, sold, grown, and smuggled. One victim of a drugs overdose is shown. But otherwise the consumption of pot, LSD, alcohol, and cigarettes remain sociable and in moderation. There are some skirmishes, threats, and confrontations. But the only graphic injury is the result of a mishap rather than malicious intent. A gun features at one point with some references to shootings, but this is relatively low stakes. Sex is occasional, with some female nudity at parties and one group sex scene, which is not graphic but does feature nudity and kissing. One scene involves a close-up of a penis that a character has drawn on for comic effect. Language such as "f--k," "c--k," and "s--t" are used throughout both casually and in heated arguments.
