Themes of communication, teamwork, integrity are illustrated by movie's focus on living authentically and running a business that agrees with personal ethics. But female friendship is portrayed in a manner that doesn't ring true.

Mel and Mia are close, supportive best friends who show their love for each other openly and often: "You're my family, you're my home," says Mel to Mia. They treat each other with the utmost kindness and respect for the most part; when they err, they resolve to make changes: "I'm going to do better," Mia promises Mel. Cast is diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, body type. 

Mia shows aggression toward Claire, threatening her with bodily harm and smashing a pane of glass with a hammer. Claire is left dangling from a high-up spot (from which she'd surely die if she fell), and Mia and Mel jump into a pool from a rooftop -- they make it, but if they hadn't, they would have been killed or grievously injured. 

Jokes are raunchy. Some images of sex: a scene in which a lingerie-clad Mia climbs on top of her shirtless boyfriend and tells him to be quiet so he can get his "birthday present" (sex) faster. A woman talks dismissively about her much younger boyfriend, basically saying that she ignores him talking in order to fantasize about him sexually. Both Mia and Mel have men hanging around their kitchen in the morning; Mel is dismissive with her friend, directs him sternly to leave immediately, refusing to let him have her phone number (implying a casual hookup).

Language is frequent and crude: "f--k," "f--king," "motherf----r," "s--t," "d--k," "p---y," "coochie," "hell," "damn" "bad ass," "oh my God." Women call each other a bitch on many occasions, including one in which a character purrs "Thank you" afterward. 

A character is told in one scene to "take a Lyft." 

In several scenes, Mia and Mel smoke joints together, including one in which they realize there's a baby asleep in the room where they're smoking and then drop the joint into the crib. A character refers to Mia eating a "weed cookie" and then flaking out of work.
