The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:"

Rated: PG-13

Suitable for: Mature high school students and older

What you should know: "500 Days of Summer" follows Tom, a hopeless romantic, and Summer, a free-spirited commitment-phobe, as they fall in and out of love during the year-and-a-half duration of their relationship.

Language: Tom and his lowbrow friends curse a couple times, using the f-word or a reference to female genitalia. They also use several pejorative terms to describe the women in their lives, though it is clear that those words are only an angry reaction to the pain of unrequited love. There are a couple of tasteless jokes about homosexuality.

Sexual situations and nudity: A few depictions of the moments leading up to sex. In one short, humorous scene, Tom and Summer watch a porn video together and attempt to copy the actors, though they never show anyone actually engaging in sex. Almost every character cracks a joke or two involving sexual innuendo.

Violence/scary situations: Tom engages in a quick bar fight that consists of a couple of punches to the face.

Drug or alcohol use: Many parts of the movie involve situations where characters drink wine, beer or hard liquor, especially as a post-breakup coping mechanism. There are two scenes where a character gets completely wasted in a karaoke bar.
