A Lot or a Little? The parents' guide to what's in this movie.

High school-aged girls show much skin and dance provocatively in brief party scenes. High school kids smoke cigarettes and drink liquor; the adult villain smokes a cigar. Some language s-word and suggestive soundtrack lyrics. Community Reviews Parents say 11 Kids say 32 May 29, 2022 Drifting right off to sleep... It seems that the dialogue gets thinner, the skirts get shorter, and the male gaze camera work gets more prominent with each passing Fast and Furious franchise film. The first five minutes of Tokyo Drift are atrocious, the patriarchal dialogue and the over-the-top Texas drawl make for lazy writing. Sung Kang as Han is the only bright spot. He plays bored very well, which is spot on with the tone of the audience watching this film. His boredom is the only authenticity that is palpable and believable. January 19, 2022 Ten film mówi sam za siebie! Dobry dzień. Najpierw chciałbym się przedstawić, jestem web designerem z Polski, pracuję w O filmie. Nie ma co o tym mówić, sama nazwa mówi sama za siebie. To ten sam popularny Szybcy i Wściekli, o którym wszyscy wiedzą. Ta część jest dość stara, ale osobiście uważam, że jest najlepsza. Ma swój klimat, jakiego nie ma żaden inny film z tej serii. Fajne aktorstwo, dużo akcji, dużo fajnych samochodów, wybuchów i śmiesznych żartów. Zdecydowanie polecam każdemu, kto nigdy nie widział tego filmu. This title has Great messages Great role models Too much violence Too much swearing Too much drinking/drugs/smoking What's the Story? In THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS TOKYO DRIFT, young Sean Lucas Black is in fast trouble, racing a bully in order to "win" a girl, which leads immediately to Sean's punishment he's sent to live with his grumpy father Brian Goodman, who played the grumpy father in director Justin Lin's last movie, Annapolis. When dad, a Navy lifer, lays down strict rules, Sean disobeys immediately he finds the jaunty car scene and a new form of driving called drift a photogenic form of racing where the car slides along the pavement sideways, the driver shifting, braking, and steering like a madman, typically undertaken on parking garage ramps. He also makes two new friends, an "Army brat" and charming super-salesman named Twinkie Bow Wow, and a philosophical crook and playboy, Han Sung Kang, who also appeared in Lin's Better Luck Tomorrow as a guy named Han. Encouraged to think through his choices why does he race? Why does he rebel?, Sean becomes a better racer and smarter rebel. He also falls in love with a girl, Neela Nathalie Kelley, who happens to be attached to the villain, Brian Tee. Is It Any Good? Slick and shiny, this movie is part coming-of-age tale, part auto show, and part parade of girls in high school uniforms. The eye candy is generic, but the race scenes are terrific, inventive and witty even as they occasionally end in crashes. Because is the nephew of a Yakuza Sonny Chiba, looking dapper in white suit and fedora, he has money and a sense of privilege, which means he's determined to take down Sean. They race repeatedly, make mean faces at each other, and compete for Neela's loyalty. While The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift pays some attention to Sean's "outsider" status as a Gajin in Japan, for the most part, he's another triumphant American in a strange land. Upfront about its generic stereotypes villain is grim, hero earnest, girl pretty, the film glories in its gorgeous action sequences plot becomes irrelevant. Talk to Your Kids About ...
