The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:
Rated: PG-13.
Suitable for: Mature tweens and up.
What you should know: Already in trouble at work, a man discovers he has a half-sister and an 11-year-old nephew and his recently deceased father left them $150,000 in cash he is to deliver. Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks star.
Language: One f-word, a couple of exasperated "Jesus Christs," a dozen s-words and a smattering of other mild offensive words. A boy also flips someone the finger.
Sexual situations and nudity: A couple have a quick sexual encounter, a woman talks about multiple sexual affairs and not knowing the identity of her son's father, and there are obvious references to an adulterous affair.
Violence/scary situations: A school prank causes an explosion, boys threaten a classmate and one smacks another in the face with a textbook, a speeding car nearly causes an accident, and there are a couple of eruptions of anger -- one slap across the face and one physical attack with fists and objects thrown.
Alcohol and drug use: Adults share a joint that belonged to a cancer patient, a man treats his anger by getting drunk, a couple of scenes are set at an outdoor bar, and there is talk about drinking and the struggle to stay sober and adhere to AA's steps.
