What we flagged
View all categoriesOur take
A biology PhD student kisses a tough professor, then they fake-date until feelings get real. Official guidance flags language plus sexual content and nudity, and the source novel's one major sex scene is the heat the film leans on. STEM friendship and academia pressure sit under the romance. For older teens with a parent from 17, not a middle-school watch.
Uplifting themes
Loyalty between friends and honesty about feelings get a real push Women in STEM stick up for each other while chasing hard science careers
Story (may spoil tone)
Olive Smith, a biology PhD candidate, and Dr. Adam Carlsen, a hotshot professor and well-known tyrant, enter into a fake relationship, seeing each of their carefully calculated theories on love get thrown into chaos.
