The story of a young, divorced mother (Drew Barrymore) who
makes one bad decision after another but blames her young son for keeping her from
achieving her dreams. Reportedly based on a true story. Also with Brittany Murphy, James
Woods, Steve Zahn and Lorraine Bracco. [2:12]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A young man and woman kiss; he kisses her neck, she wraps her
legs around his waist, and he tries to take her into a bedroom but she braces herself by
putting her legs against the door jam (her dress flies up exposing her thigh, the top of
her stocking and panties). A young man and woman kiss a few times. A young man and woman
kiss passionately in the back seat of a car and they apparently have sex; we see him
taking the stuffing out of her bra and see her legs (her thighs are bare) go up over the
seat as he lies on top of her. A woman wears a full slip while she chooses an outfit, a
woman wears a robe which is open and shows her nightgown and some cleavage, and a young
woman's dress is unbuttoned and we see the top of her slip. A young woman sits on a young
man's lap. Two young women change their clothes in the back seat of a car; we see the tops
of their slips and bare shoulders. A young woman stuffs her bra and adjusts herself. A
young girl tells her sister that boys "shove their tongues in your mouth" when
they kiss, and two young girls talk about kissing and practice puckering. A young girl
kisses a young boy to say goodbye. A young girl talks to her father about wanting a bra
for Christmas to accentuate her breasts and attract a boy. A young man talks about a young
woman having written him poems with romantic and sexual references. We see a baby boy's
private parts.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Two young men shove each other and one punches the other
in the head breaking his hand. A young man punches a glass window breaking it and cutting
his hand (we see blood trickle). A boy falls through the cover of a pool and into the
water; his mother grabs him and pulls him up, drops him and grabs him again. A man is
going through drug withdrawal symptoms: we see him vomiting and hear him screaming for
help. A woman slaps a young man on the back of the head a few times and yells at him. A
young man, who's been drinking, drives his truck into some garbage cans. A woman yells at
and hits a man with her purse. A young woman hits a young man in the face and they
quarrel, and a man kicks a garbage can. A woman jumps on a man's lap and he yells in pain.
A young woman asks her sister to shove her down the stairs hoping that she'll miscarry. A
mother tells her daughter that "a boy puts his tongue in your mouth because he wants
you to bite it off." A woman stands in a puddle after her water breaks. A baby
urinates in his mother's mouth while she changes his diaper (it happens offscreen), and a
baby passes gas.
PROFANITY 5 - 1 F-word, 1 obscene hand gesture (by a boy), 4 scatological
terms, 2 anatomical references, 3 mild obscenities, 7 religious exclamations, and some
insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Teenage pregnancy, single mothers, searching for the man
of your dreams, heroin addiction and detoxification, premarital sex, divorce, the Vietnam
war, guilt, forgiving.
MESSAGE - Teens who get pregnant can ruin their lives. If you want to change
your life, it's up to you. Motherhood is not a job.
(Note: Young people are shown drinking alcohol and smoking in several scenes. A man
is addicted to heroin, and the business of preparing marijuana is shown. Two women are
shown taking pills which make them high.)
