Why Is Just My Luck Rated PG-13?
This lighthearted movie, which is played for laughs, presents its greatest content concerns in the areas of language and sensuality. A handful of moderate scatological profanities are heard, along with a few minor terms, including references to deity. Women are shown in low-cut dresses throughout and in underwear in one scene. At a large party, a silhouetted man and woman are depicted in the early moments of sexual relations and it is later discovered the man is a prostitute. Violence is limited to slapstick situations involving bad luck. Parents should also note the theme of the film depends on the belief of luck and fate. Advice is sought from a Tarot card reader and from horoscopes.
