Our take
Ladies First is an R-rated British comedy about a womanizing ad exec who wakes up in a parallel world run by women. Expect frequent f-words, casual sex and kiss scenes, workplace sexual-harassment jokes, and beer-and-wine partying. The gender-reversal satire targets sexism from both sides. Adult humor and office politics suit older teens and parents, not kids
Uplifting themes
Learning empathy and standing up for yourself anchor the redemption arc Damien grows after seeing life from the other side of power
Story (may spoil tone)
An arrogant but charismatic ladies' man finds his life of money, power and casual flings upended when he wakes up in a parallel world dominated by women.

Talk after watching
- Damien lands in a world where power dynamics flip. What did the swap reveal about fairness?
- Workplace harassment is played for laughs but named directly. How should teams handle those lines?
