| Message | The movie is intense and sometimes bleak (with some bullying), but in the end, it shows how adults are struggling to understand and help teens who are disaffected and disenchanted and attempting to make connections online -- and those who may be looking for a way to communicate their feelings by way of the Web, too. |
| Role model | Characters are flawed but have good intentions, including a father who wants to make sense of his son's deep sadness, an ex-cop who wants to help a couple, a husband seeking justice, a wife searching for support after a tragedy, and many more. Know, though, that there are bullies in the film, too, and though they may see the error of their ways at some point, they're pretty cruel. |
| Violence | A man vows to seek revenge after his and his wife's identities are stolen, which leads to a confrontation with a gun; two boys mess with a classmate online and make fun of him; a character is found hanging from the ceiling; two men start beating each other up in the wake of a tragedy. |
| Sex | Teens send racy pictures of each other via text and email; in one, an underwear-clad woman's lower torso is shown. A scene shows online sex workers talking to their clients while wearing very little clothing (bare breasts are visible); an adult flirts with a teenager. |
| Language | Frequent use of everything from "f--k" and "s--t" to "damn," "ass," and "bitch," used both by kids and adults. |
| Consumerism | Plenty of labels/logos are seen and shown, including Apple, Dell, iPad, Facebook, Sony, Adidas, MasterCard, and more. |
| Drugs | Some scenes show adults drinking; an adult smokes pot with a teenager. |
