Eric then mentions that he's ready to get his "groove on" with Belinda (but she blows him off). PG/PG13

Jaime reveals she has leukemia, and she passes out in one scene. We see her in the hospital hooked up to IVs and an oxygen tank. She looks frail afterwards, and it is revealed that she passes in the end, although we do not see the actual death. PG
Landon is very moody and gets into a lot of verbal and physical arguments. He also doesn't want to have anything to do with his father, and he is shown shunning him. There is an emotional apology later, which can make people cry. PG |

At least 11 "s" words, 5 hells, 3 asses, 1 damn and 1 incomplete "Jesus" used as exclamations, at least one jackass. PG/PG13
When Jamie closes the door in Landon's face a second time (the first porch scene at her house) he responds "Jamie" (barely audible), then a very loud "Dammit." PG
Note: With Jamie being the Preacher's daughter, there are several religious names used, both as exclamations and in the proper context. G/PG |

Scenes involving a person dying from leukemia (the person collapses and is then in the hospital, etc.) may be disturbing to some viewers.
At the beginning of the picture a teen is pushed into shallow water from high scaffolding and is knocked out, and when he is picked up he is bleeding.
Landon is very moody and gets into a lot of verbal and physical arguments. Some of them can be upsetting to sensitive viewers. He also doesn't want to have anything to do with his father, and he is shown shunning him. There is an emotional apology later, which can make people cry.
Jamie gets upset when seeing flyers featuring her face on a bikini clad woman's body, and begins to run off when she is stopped by Landon. He comforts her then confronts the boy who made them. They get in to a small fight, before he swears at Landon and Landon and Jamie leave.
Note: The flyers originally featured a naked woman but in order to maintain a PG rating a bikini was constructed on the image. This is only on the flyer shown close up. The flyers that the other students are holding have the original naked image, which can be seen but only from a distance. |
