Never does the film deal with the taste question of white Westerners dressing up as tribesmen, or the academic sin of faked research. It's Disney cute. Teen audiences will gravitate toward this glib and witty but thin romantic comedy about best friends who fall for the same woman. Parents may take issue with the movie's acceptance of premarital sex. The rating reflects strong and frequent profanity as well as verbal sexual innuendo, though love scenes are understated.
Characters drink alcohol and once refer jokingly to drug use.
Fight scenes aren't overly violent, but aliens do stick needles cleanly into human foreheads. But both men are pawns of mysterious Strangers who live underground and stop time. The explicit discussion of sex as well as graphic sexual situations and nudity render this opulent, lascivious historic swooner inappropriate for all but mature high-schoolers. It will embarrass younger teens and its values will confuse many girls. Set in Renaissance Venice, it touches on art, politics, the Plague and the Inquisition.
