Our take
Regretting You adapts a popular novel about a mother and daughter after a fatal accident reveals secrets. Rated PG-13 for sexual content, teen drug and alcohol use, and brief strong language. Expect a teen sex scene without nudity, marijuana smoking, drinking, grief outbursts, and infidelity talk. Best for teens 14+ with parent context on loss and relationships
Uplifting themes
Honesty and rebuilding trust emerge by the end Flawed adults learn to listen; teens grow up fast
Story (may spoil tone)
Morgan Grant and her daughter Clara explore what's left behind after a devastating accident reveals a shocking betrayal and forces them to confront family secrets, redefine love, and rediscover each other.
