Additional Context

Best For Ages

The film is rated TV-14, suggesting it is appropriate for viewers aged 14 and older. This rating aligns with content warnings for profanity, some sexual content (including brief nudity and implied sexual activity), and some violence.

Good to Know

Parents should be aware that while the movie is a romantic comedy, it also deals with the heavy theme of grief over the loss of a sibling. The portrayal of Wes's actions (listening to private voicemails and then seeking out Jill) could be seen as morally ambiguous or 'creepy' by some viewers, which may warrant discussion with younger audiences. The film also features a significant amount of profanity and implied sexual content.
