Love Life

There's a lot of talk about sex, and a lot of scenes set in bedrooms, but there's no nudity and the most we see is same- and opposite-sex kissing, noises, and suggestive movements. There are references to oral sex (we see a man's feet sticking out from under a blanket suggestively), and some sexual language, like when a women says she's giving a man a "blowjob" for his birthday.

Language is usually used for emphasis, but sometimes directed at a character like when a woman tells catcalling me to "Eat s--t, motherf--kers."

A side character frequently smokes cigarettes and has a substance abuse problem; another character pleads with her to go to rehab and their friendship is damaged. Scenes take place in bars, with characters getting drunk and sloppy and kissing in front of everyone. A character drives drunk.

Parents need to know that Love Life is a romantic dramedy about Darby (Anna Kendrick), a woman who charts a course from her first love to her last in a single season. Because of the focus on romance, expect lots of romantic complications, kissing, dating, marriage, and lots of sex talk. There are also many scenes set in bedrooms, though there's no nudity and what we see is lots of passionate kissing, suggestive movements, and visuals like a man's feet sticking out suggesting he's performing oral sex on a woman. Cursing and language is somewhat common, often for emphasis ("What the f--k?") but sometimes directed at people, like when a woman says to catcalling men, "Eat s--t, motherf--kers." A side character smokes cigarettes, and many characters drink. At bars they have liquor, beer, and cocktails, and sometimes get sloppy drunk. A character drives drunk. Darby makes a decent role model as she's smart and assertive and takes her relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners seriously, but she also has no real ambition or plan for her life, or at least, not one that's communicated to us. Characters are diverse in terms of age, ethnicity, and sexual identity.
