Pretty damn rare in any movie. I thought one of the great movies on this subject (though not an "adult" movie in xx sense) was "1000 clowns". 1965 Jason Robarbs
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?
Willow ,'Empty Places'
F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I didn't realize until I read your post, Typo Boy, that Toddson's post wasn't about porn.

Hah! I HATE when in porn, they don't show people paying bills, damnit!
...there's gotta be a kink for that. Though I think I'd only be turned on if it were someone paying MY bills...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, the point was they call things "adult" (movies, books) but the people never do adult things (like paying bills or dealing with home repairs - in a realistic way - or having to get up and go to work every day or commute on public transit).

1000 Clowns starts out with the "free spirit non-conformist sticking it to the man" cliche. Except that it looks at it critically and makes the case for being grown up and sucking it up for the sake of your family. Without (IMO) being preachy. And quite entertaining ultimately.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They do do adult things like drink and smoke and have sex, though. If paying bills were interesting or character illuminating, they'd do that too.

I've seen plenty of movies where it's a plot point that someone doesn't do things like pay their bills (usually a Manic Pixie Girl who's far too free-spirited to be burdened with mundane things like paying rent).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Or House of Sand and Fog where the moral is that if you don't check your mail, you will probably DIE.
