Parents need to know that The Leisure Seeker is a dramedy about an older married couple (Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland) who desert their grown, worried children to take one last road trip. Language is strong, with more than one use of "f--k," plus "s--t," "a--hole," "bastard," and more. There's a brief, tender sex scene; you won't see any nudity, but you'll hear strong sex talk and innuendo. Two men try to mug the couple at knifepoint; a knife is held to someone's throat, and characters are threatened by a shotgun (it's not fired). Characters drink socially throughout the movie -- beer, wine, whiskey, and champagne; a character drinks too much in one scene. Prescription drugs are shown; characters intentionally overdose on sleeping pills. The movie offers fine performances but meanders into a melancholy, unsatisfying conclusion.
