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.
We follow a blind date between a strait-laced law clerk
(Tommy Davidson) and a woman (Jada Pinkett Smith) who may just be nuts.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A lingering shot on a woman's legs and clothed buttocks. A
woman wears cleavage revealing clothing. Several discussions of sex including
transvestitism and sex acts. A man is aroused by a workout video (masturbation is
implied). A man's nude buttocks is seen. A photo of a woman's bare breasts is seen. A
woman makes sexual advances toward a man. A woman dresses like a chicken and to please her
man she performs a dance and then pecks popcorn from his chest. A group of men mistake
transvestites for real women and get their manhood humiliated.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A woman breaks a mirror and a woman smacks a man on the
head. Some people and furniture are knocked down by a swinging chandelier. A man is
punched in the face and a woman punches a man. A car window is broken by a brick. A truck
crashes into a car (off-screen).

PROFANITY 7 - About 20 F-words, about 20 scatological terms, many anatomical
references, many mild obscenities, insults and racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Transvestitism, blind dates, sexism and chauvinism, lunacy,
how men and women relate to each other.
MESSAGE - Blind dates can be torture - but they may also help you find the
person you're looking for.
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.
