Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
The kids from "American Pie" are all young adults now and perhaps ready to
settle down. Indeed, one couple (Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan) is getting
married but first they have to survive a bachelor party and all manner of other
traditional and untraditional rites. Meanwhile, the groom struggles to keep his
bride-to-be from getting too anxious. Also with Eugene Levy, January Jones and
Seann William Scott. Directed by Jesse Dylan. [1:35]
SEX/NUDITY 7 - A man finds a woman in a closet (it's dark), we
hear kissing and rhythmic movement, when a light shines on them and we see an
elderly women sit up (she has bare shoulders) and we later see her with a very
gratified look on her face. A woman climbs under a table in a restaurant and
judging from the man's reaction, she is apparently performing fellatio. A woman
sits covered with bubbles in a bathtub, a man's head comes up from under the
bubbles and then she pushes him back under (he's apparently performing
cunnilingus). A man and an older women go to the woman's hotel room (presumably
to have sex). A woman tears off her jacket and exposes her bare breasts, another
woman's top is open and we see her bare breasts, a woman takes off her top and
we see her bare breasts, and a woman bends over and we see part of her bare
buttocks. A man and a woman hug, the man steps back and we see a large bulge
protruding from his boxer shorts. A man and a woman kiss, a man kisses a woman,
a woman kisses a man, men kiss men, women kiss women and they dance together in
a gay bar. Men make passes at another man in a gay bar. Two women caress a man
who is taped into a chair. A dog licks the crotch of a man who has cake icing
smeared on him, a dog thrusts at a man's leg, and people who see the thrusting
assume that it is an instance of bestiality. A woman teases men by dusting them
with a feather duster, and another whips them with a whip. A man makes repeated
sexual gestures behind two women, unbeknownst to them. A woman asks another
woman about a sexual implement. Two men have a dance competition with hip
thrusting and sexual gestures. A man talks to his son about marriage and sex,
and a man talks about oral sex. A man wiggles his bare buttocks out a car
window, and a man wears pants with holes cut out that expose his bare buttocks.
A woman sits in a bra and panties and a man ogles her from the doorway. A man
stands up and his pants fall around his ankles (a restaurant full of people see
his bare buttocks). Two women tear off a man's clothing, and a man in his boxer
shorts covers himself in chocolate sauce after a woman says she will lick him.
Women wear outfits that reveal cleavage, bare legs, bare abdomens, backs and
shoulders. A man shaves the hair from his crotch and the hair ends up being
sucked into a kitchen through a fan (we see the hair stuck to a wedding cake). A
song repeats lines about a woman's climax.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man punches a man in the crotch. A man twirls
a girl while dancing and she crashes into a waiter knocking the tray into the
air. A man picks up dog feces (we hear squishing) and ends up eating it (we see
it in his mouth as he talks and see it stuck to his teeth).

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we
started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were
not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many
older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please
keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period.
While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are
limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
