Parent Verdict

Sex is a near-constant topic — casual hookups, one-night stands, and endless innuendo — though nothing explicit is shown, and drinking is routine. It is otherwise warm and violence-free. A reasonable pick for 13 and up; younger tweens will absorb more of the sexual framing than parents expect.
