Sex & Nudity

  • There is a scene where the main character makes out with a girl but are interrupted before anything happens.
  • Sammy's mom dances in a semi-transparent dress, and the men watch her. Sammy films as his sister tries to stop him, then she tries to dance in front of her mother to block the view. However, all we see is a vague outline of her body through the dress and no nudity.
