A neurotic, giggly divorcee finally hooks up with a man who can sexually please her, which causes her to forget how to lock doors so her little daughter won't walk in on them while they're having it off. The man in question also doesn't know how to lock doors, so the kid walks in on him while he's having a shower. Upon seeing his naked manhood, she asks to touch it. Instead of grabbing a towel, covering himself up, and saying something like, "Nah, kid. Sorry you saw that, but they call them 'private parts' for a reason. Now am-scray!", he says he lets her.
The kid tells her father, who is rightfully enraged and sues for full custody. The movie makes the father -- the only sensible grown-up who knows how to lock doors and turn down a kid's imploring to touch his genitals -- out to be the villain. Apparently, Hollywood types think it's OK to expose little children to adult sexuality and nudity, and anyone who disagrees is a silly old prude. Any boundary is bad, see. And the only two options are to make a kid think the body and sex are dirty OR to let them see it all, no holds barred. No option exists to teach them to see sex as wonderful, but private and for married grown-ups, and the body as beautiful, but having parts that are also private and not for everyone's eyes. What a load of crap.
