Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
Some bickering between friends, and in one heated argument, a girl throws books and other objects across the room and then destroys a guitar. A girl watches her car get stolen and is later unable to stop someone from shoplifting from her store. She also tries to put her head in an oven and a bag over a her head in an attempt to channel a suicidal, edgier poet.

Surprisingly tame for a film set in an adult video store. A girl is shown in her bra while kissing a boy, and later a couple is shown kissing and then later seen in relaxing in bed after sex. The scenes at the store show numerous sex toys in the background, and there's some discussion about the various genres of DVD that are sold. A drunk girl propositions a guy, who turns her down.

Some occasional swearing, including numerous variations of "s--t," "ass," "bitch" and one well-timed "f--k."
Consumerism
One scene includes people drinking Jack Daniels whiskey.
Education Value
Ease of Play
Privacy
Some characters smoke cigarettes, and later indulge in "medical marijuana" in a non-clinical setting. A young woman gets very drunk, chugging whiskey straight from the bottle.
