Etat : Muy bueno. : May Contain Nuts es una sátira sobre la competitividad y la sobreprotección de los padres, que llevan a sus hijos a clases particulares, ballet y, en última instancia, a la locura. Alice y David son padres preocupados que se preguntan si sus hijos se están quedando atrás en sus estudios, lecciones de música y número de invitaciones a fiestas de pijamas. Esta sensación permanente de crisis llega a su clímax cuando su hija mayor está a punto de suspender el examen de ingreso a la prestigiosa escuela en la que han depositado todas sus esperanzas. Alice, en un acto desesperado, decide hacer el examen en lugar de su hija, lo que la lleva a darse cuenta de las presiones a las que están sometidos sus hijos.
