I am wondering why you think that?
Objectively it is a good movie.
Further is touches on a number to great conversation points:
-Sexism
-Substance abuse
-Infidelity
-opportunity and employment
-repercussions of actions
Maybe I am wrong in my approach to parenting, but I think that it is useful to see these types of topics and have these types of discussion with your children. Certainly not when they are 5 & 7, but a 17 yr old that is about to start University, hell yes and a 15 yr old that is about to go to high school, hell yes again.
The more we make topics taboo the less likely our children are to discuss them with us or ask for help because of potential shame (for want of a better word).
Perhaps I'm wrong, but so far it's worked. My 17 yr old daughter just got accepted into the top program for her area of study in the country and the boy is rocking 90's coming out of Jr high.
At the end of the day you raise you children your way, but I am striving for an open and honest relationship with my children. I can't and don't want them to think any topic is off the table.
