Parents' Guide to The Last Supper

Parents need to know that The Last Supper is a dark comedy that provokes debate over the political views of the far left and right, which ultimately leads to a series of murders. These polarizing political matters are discussed around a dinner table where most of the film is set. A group of liberal post-grad students -- including Cameron Diaz's Jude and Courtney B. Vance's Luke -- entertain caricatures of ridiculously disagreeable people who reel off racist, homophobic, anti-environmentalist, antisemitic, anti-abortion, and rape-denying discriminatory opinions. These opinions become the warrant of their demise and their murders are seen as justified and deserved. Language is frequent, strong and discriminatory to prove the unfavourable views of certain characters. This includes "cracker," "f-g basher," "colored people," and offensive views on gay people and AIDS. The violence involves knives, fists, a shovel, and a chair as the tension rises. Plenty of wine is drunk at these dinner parties and becomes a plot device, while characters also smoke cigarettes and cannabis. A brief sex scene is shown although there's no graphic nudity and a female character is interrupted by her partner while masturbating.
