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.
Seven testosterone-filled friends make a bet that the last
of them to get married will be the lucky one to win a large pot of cash as a reward for
preserving his bachelorhood. With Jerry O'Connell, Shannon Elizabeth, Jake Busey, Horatio
Sanz, Jaime Pressly and Bill Maher. [1:32]
SEX/NUDITY 10 - Lots and lots of sexual innuendo, including references to
oral sex, masturbation, S&M, multiple-partner sex, sex with twin sisters, bestiality,
homosexuality, casual sex, sex with kids, and anal sex. Several passionate kissing scenes
and several sex scenes. Preparing for sex, a man spanks a woman's bare buttocks (she's in
a thong) and the woman asks if she can get a friend to join them; the friend obliges and
it's implied they'll have a ménage-à-trois. We see a man and a woman having sex in the
backseat of a car (with moaning and thrusting); the woman feels sick so she puts her head
out the window to vomit and the man starts having sex with her from behind while she's
regurgitating. We see a close-up of a woman's bare breast. We see two scantily clad women
having sex on a bed, with one woman behind the other rubbing and moving. A man in thong
underwear on his bed spanks his own buttocks and talks dirty to himself. A man lying in
bed pulls off his underwear and it's implied he's going to masturbate. A couple kiss
passionately, begin disrobing and recline on a bed; but then the woman turns into a
dominatrix and handcuffs the man, bites him, strips him and whips him (we see shots of his
bare buttocks a couple of times). Then the dominatrix brings in her dominatrix grandmother
to join them. We see the silhouette of what seems to be two naked women having sex (and
making sex noises). A woman performs fellatio on a man while he's driving a car. Two men
go to a sperm bank; for a long time we watch a man masturbate (we see numerous stroking
gestures and facial expressions but no genitalia). A man kisses a woman's cleavage (she's
lying down in a bra). We see the bare shoulders and backs of two obviously naked people
having sex. Twice (in the movie itself and in outtakes shown during the end credits), we
see a man on top of a naked woman (we see her bare breasts) having sex with her (she makes
loud moaning noises). Then a few other scantily clad women hop into the bed as well (in
fact, there's a whole line of women waiting to have sex with this man). We see the
silhouette of what appears to be one naked woman rubbing her hand on another naked woman's
breasts. We see three women under the sheets having sex and then they ask a man to join
them; he excitedly takes off his shirt. We see several shots of a man in only his
underwear. A woman handcuffs a man to a bed and then another woman comes into the room
with a strap-on phallus and shoves it up the man's anus (we see his pained face right
after she gets behind him). We see a man and woman in bed together playing a
stripping/drinking game (the man's down to his boxers; the woman is in underwear and tank
top). The woman hops on top of the man and kisses him and then the two get up -- the
woman's on her knees and she proceeds to lick and kiss the man around and below his navel,
ready to perform fellatio on him, until she asks him to say the "three magic
words" (and they're not "I Love You"). A man is on top of a woman almost
ready to kiss her and then stops. Men in a wedding party drink an erection-enhancing drug
and all display prominent erections during the ceremony (the pastor looks curiously at the
men's erections). A man approaches a prostitute and unzips his pants, pulling out a
carrot. Two gay men briefly kiss. In a cartoon, a woman spreads her legs and there's a
brain where her vagina should be. A woman rubs dice in her cleavage and hands them to a
man for good luck. We see three men in a steam room; two are wearing only towels. An
elderly woman grabs a man's clothed buttocks. We see several scantily clad women and lots
of cleavage throughout the movie.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Threatening with guns, and several shots fired. A man is
shot and falls down a flight of stairs and dies; also, a man is shot in the chest and
another is shot in the back (both are killed). A man dangles from a cliff face and then
falls off (he's unharmed). A man threatens to kill and castrate another man. A man in a
steam room is holding a tape recorder to his chest and is electrically shocked (but
survives). A man has a testicle surgically removed. A man drops a recently-removed
testicle, several people kick it around, a person in a wheel chair rolls over it, it's
dropped a few times, and its eventually eaten by a man (we slowly watch as the testicle
enters the man's mouth and he bites into it). A woman hikes up her leg and a baby comes
out that looks like a man. A woman vomits. We see a few clear jars filled with semen. A
man has a scarlet "A" welted on his buttock after being paddled. We also see a
few instances of sex-related violence and gore; see the Sex/Nudity category for
details.

PROFANITY 8 - About 15 F-words, lots of anatomical and scatological
references, lots of mild obscenities, lots of crude humor and references to genitalia
(slang terms), a few insults. [profanity glossary]
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.
