A lot or a little?
The parents' guide to what's in this movie.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that One Small Hitch is a funny romcom that's all about love, sex, and weddings, with the focus on sex. There's some partial nudity, and the characters spend most of the movie talking about getting ready to have sex (including talk about heart-shaped pubic hair) or having sex. There are some bad ethnic jokes about being Irish-Catholic and Jewish. There's also quite a bit of profanity ("s--t," "bitch," "ass"), drinking, and a few drug references (Ecstasy and some sort of sedative), making this edgy film best for older teens and up.

What's the story?
Childhood friends Molly (Aubrey Dollar) and Josh (Shane McRae) agree to pretend to be engaged to fulfill Josh's father's dying wish to see him find a wife. As the two find themselves living together and their two boisterous families get a little too involved in planning their fake wedding, the two start to question whether they should come clean. But when they start having real feelings for each other, Molly and Josh have to decide if they're ready to get hitched for real.
Is it any good?
Although there's nothing new about this somewhat-raunchy romcom, ONE SMALL HITCH is a surprisingly fun and funny watch. The two leads have great chemistry, and both are engaging and endearing, even as they're put in predictable, cliché circumstances. It shouldn't be entertaining, but all the characters, even the typically vilified ones such as the "other woman," all are likable, which keeps you invested in the plot.
Although some younger teens may be entertained by the romantic story line, the focus on adult-relationship dynamics, bad language, and sexy content make this a better pick for older teens and adults.
