ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Jeff Bridges stars in this comedy/thriller about mistaken
identities. With John Goodman and Steve Buscemi.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Sexual innuendo and oral sex, masturbation and child
molestation references. Scantily clad women in a few scenes, female bare buttocks and a
brief shot of full frontal female nudity. A porn film is seen on TV showing a woman's bare
breasts. An extended scene where topless women are bounced up and down on a big blanket
(shown at least twice). A drawing of a naked man. A couple is shown in bed together with
sheets up to their shoulders, evidently after sex.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man is beaten up by a group of men, including having his
head shoved into a toilet. A man is hit in the jaw. A gun is accidentally fired and a man
crashes his car as a result. A man is thrown on the ground and when he's picked up we hear
bones creaking. A police officer throws a man around and kicks him. A little bit of blood
is seen on some gauze on a toe. A man bites another man's ear off and we see blood where
the ear was; the biter's face is bloody and we see him spitting the ear out. Reckless
driving, lots of scenes of property damage. A frenzied ferret is thrown into a tub with a
man and nearly scratches and hurts the man as a result. Threatening with a gun.
PROFANITY 10 - About 240 F-words, many scatological references, many
anatomical references, many mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Kidnaping, pornography, marijuana use, the Vietnam and Gulf
Wars.
MESSAGE - Go with the flow, dude.

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. |
