Positive Messages
Truth comes in parts, so something always gets left out. Life can be blown out of our hands as easily as sea foam, so give yourself up to it and go where the current takes you.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
Brief view of the body of a car crash victim under a sheet in a large pool of blood. The narrator tells of a past car crash and mentions blood.
Sex
Many graphic sex scenes with older teens, and some between teens and an adult. Both men and women are fully naked and seen from the front and back, although erect penises are never shown. Thrusting and orgasm are extensively simulated. More briefly simulated are oral sex, sex with three people, and sex between two male teens. Safe sex, condom use, or consequences are never shown or talked about, although condoms are mentioned a couple of times. Two teens masturbate nearby while talking about what excites them. Their hand motions can be seen from a distance but not their genitals, and ejaculate is shown landing in the pool from underwater. An adult and teens have lots of frank talks about sex, including things like specific techniques, how a penis is curved, and loudly drinking a toast to the clitoris. Some nonsexual nudity, like showing nude males swimming underwater with genitals clearly visible, and topless sunbathing.
Language
In translation from Spanish, "f--k," "s--t," "bitch," "suck my pr--k," "ass," "t--ties," "fag," "faggot," "ball breaker," "whore," "d--k," and "whack off."
Consumerism
Lots of brand-name products briefly visible in a supermarket. Ruffles potato chips prominent in one brief scene. Coca-Cola mentioned a couple of times.
Education Value
Ease of Play
Privacy
Older teens frequently drink beer, rum, and tequila. The consequences of throwing up and regretting your actions are shown once. Frequent talk about drugs, mostly marijuana but also ecstasy a couple of times, and several scenes show teens rolling joints and smoking marijuana. Part of the teens' credo is to get high at least once a day. Bong use shown once. Teens frequently smoke cigarettes.
