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.
Adam Sandler stars as a mild-mannered businessman who's wrongly accused of assaulting a flight attendant
and is sentenced to spend time in an anger management program run by a man (Jack Nicholson) who has temper control issues of his own.
During his treatment Sandler ends up losing his girlfriend, getting passed over for a promotion, and lands back in court with another
assault charge. Also with Krista Allen, Marisa Tomei and Allen Covert. [1:43]

a woman tries to seduce another man. Two women talk about having sex with a man, together. Two women talk about working in the adult film
industry and say that they are lovers. A woman takes off her shorts and top in front of a man, we see her in a bra and panties and she
invites a man to have sex with her. Two men share a bed, one removes his clothing under the covers (we see his bare shoulders) and rolls
over placing his arm over the other. A girl dares a boy to kiss her and he leans forward to do so. Two women wear very revealing outfits
throughout the movie, exposing cleavage, bare abdomens, thighs to the hip, bare backs and shoulders. A woman wears a low-cut,
tight-fitting dress that reveals her cleavage, bare shoulders and back. A man has a tattoo of a woman on his arm and it shows stocking
covered thighs, a bare buttock and pubic region. A boy's pants are pulled down (we see his bare buttocks) and the people around him laugh
and make fun of his endowment. We see a man's buttocks in a thong. A woman in a movie wears an outfit that reveals her cleavage. We see
faked, computer-enhanced photos of a man and a cat in sexual activities (we see the man French kissing the cat and pinching its nipples). A man looks down at another man's endowment while using a urinal. People make
descriptive remarks about the size of a man's endowment several times. A man talks about a man's sexual ability.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man shoves a man a couple of times, a man charges at a man and tackles him, they fight rolling around on
the ground, one head-butts the other, twists his nipples, and the other knees him in the groin. A man jumps out of a tree and lands on
another man. A man slaps a man on the head, they fight with punches and shoving, another man gets involved, he is hit on the back with a
cane, he grabs the cane and hits a woman in the face (we see her bruised nose and eyes later). A man is punched in the face twice, another
man is punched in the face, a man steps on a man's face. Several men chase and try to tackle a man; he throws one man to the ground, he
hits one, and a couple dive toward him but miss and hit the ground. A man attacks a man and shoves him back out of a chair. A man and

window of a car with a bat, the car rolls backward and falls off the top of a hi-rise parking garage crashing to the ground. A man hits a
lamp with a golf club. A man pulls the emergency brake on a moving car, it skids to a stop and many cars behind them screech and swerve to
avoid hitting them. A man drives recklessly. Many people drive by a stopped car yelling obscenities at the driver. A man yells at a man
and a cat hisses at a man. A woman shoves cupcakes in their mouth and throws some at a man. A man throws a teddy bear off a roof. A man

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.
