That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update. Although the movie makes it clear that Joseph Wilson is trying to do the right thing by telling the truth about the war in Iraq, instead of accomplishing something positive, he and his family lose their peace of mind and their well being.
The United States government circa is portrayed as a formidable villain, and the characters are tempted to give up, but they keep fighting. Their victory is small compared to the price they've paid, but they at least meet the challenge. Both Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame could be considered positive role models in their own ways.
Wilson is shocked to hear that the government has lied to the American people and tries to help spread the truth, even at the cost of his wife's job and their family's well being. Plame is personally involved with one of her projects, trying to save the lives of a family in Iraq before the war starts. She's tempted to give up the fight, and her marriage suffers great tension, but both she and Wilson persevere against all odds.
Several tense arguments and shouting matches, and characters receive death threats. The entire story takes place on the verge of war, which adds an underlying tension to the film. Subsequently, viewers see a few attacks and explosions in the Middle East involving secondary characters. Language is fairly infrequent overall; "f--k" is used a couple of times, and "s--t" is heard a few times. Other words include "a--hole," "py," "a--hole," "damn," "hell," "oh my God," "crap," and "goddamn.
Adults drink a bit too much mostly beer and wine at dinner parties. One character smokes cigars.

Expect some strong language including "f--k" and "s--t" , lots of yelling and verbal fighting, and some war footage.
Characters also drink and smoke cigars. It likely won't appeal to most kids, but politically-aware teens may appreciate the movie's eye-opening look at recent U.

After reports of a huge sale of yellow cake uranium, the CIA agrees to send Wilson to Niger to investigate. He determines that no such sale took place, but months later, the White House reports the opposite and uses this information to justify going to war in Iraq.
Wilson responds by writing an op-ed piece in the New York Times. Unfortunately, Plame's identity comes out in a subsequent news story, thereby destroying her career. The timing couldn't be worse: She was in the middle of trying to rescue a family from Iraq. Positive Messages.
