There wasn't much objectionable content. It's rated PG-13 for "some sexual references and smoking." There's a lot of alcohol consumption as well. But it is quite clean, especially compared to other PG-13 movies. You see Rachel McAdams' character in a towel, but she's pretty well-covered, and it's not intended to be a "sexy" scene. The filmmakers probably could have included quite a bit of objectionable material, and I'm glad they didn't.
My Thoughts:
It was an interesting movie, and it has a "moral of the story," which I must admit I'm a fan of. So this movie falls somewhere between "merely entertaining" and "high-quality film" on my personal hierarchy. I liked the message of the film: being happy with where you are in life and not longing to be somewhere else. President Uchtdorf has expressed similar ideas in the past. He taught us not to wait for our "golden ticket" in life, and not to wait on the road to Damascus.
The movie is also pretty, as it all takes place in Paris. And some of it takes place in the past, so it's fun to see the different costumes and things. Overall, I liked it. Though I don't think I will be putting it on my list of favorites, I think it is a good, family-friendly film that could prompt some good discussion afterwards (one of my favorite parts of watching movies).
