[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but mainly because the main character is a woman who is not a monogamist -- she believes in sampling the field.  There's nothing wrong with this for an adult and I'm not judging, but I don't think this is the message I'd want to send my 15YO daughter.

[b]I would not feel comfortable sitting next to my teen daughter and watching the movie.[/b][/quote]

I think the subject matter of the movie is an opportunity for discussion -- why do people decide to be monogamous, or not? -- and for meta-discussions -- is this a groundbreaking film because it depicts a woman playing the field, or does it undercut that point by pushing monogamous happily ever after.

But the bolded -- yeesh. Ditto on the point made about about A Fish Called Wanda, or the Zoot scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or any other movie depicting something both parent and child know exists but maybe don't want to watch together.

If you take her, do you have to sit with her?[/quote]
