Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this new feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes .
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

A woman pushes a man to the ground and they have sex (They roll around and thrust in an extende dscene), but both remain clothed. A man and woman have sex and kiss in bed (Shown from some distance). A man has sex with a woman (No nudity, but some kissing; we later see the woman getting dressed). A man and a woman kiss passionately; they begin to remove their clothes before the woman says that she can't continue, upon which they both stop. We see repeated blurred, black-and-white photographs and some blurred video of a man and a woman kissing passionately in bed (Some slurred audio is also heard). A man impregnates a woman accidentally. Some minor discussion of sex on some occassion.

Violence & Gore

A man is slapped and punched repeatedly, before he is stripped naked and has a bag put on his head. Beaten and bloody, water is poured on his body as he screams in pain. A gang of men attack another man (Off-screen). We hear screaming, and see the victim being thrown into the water, presumably drowning. A woman is thrown out of an airplane and falls to her death. A man jumps out of a window; he later see his body lying in a pool of blood on the sidewalk.

A man's body is shown after comitting a suicide (We see his bloodied head). A woman is surprised and shot twice (Some blood splatters). Some threats; men mud-wrestle in one scene.

Profanity

The word "fuck" is used on some occassion, but very sparingly. Various profanities such as "son of a bitch" are sometimes heard; "nigger" is used once.

A man is given LSD as a truth serum; he is shown visibly high in several scenes. Characters drink casually in social gatherings (Parties, weddings) and alone. Some characters use cigarettes or cigars on occassion.

A violent torture/interrogation scene is rather violent; there's also a murder of a man that is comitted mostly off-screen, but is somewhat perturbing.
