ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
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. |

Like "Home Alone," "Blank Check"
centers around precocious, pint-sized stars who have a knack for getting into trouble.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A thief threatens to harm a family, and a man has a gun
held to his head. A boy is hit by a car while riding his bike and there's a car chase
scene through a park full of people. A young boy is held hostage by thieves, and is held
over a ledge of a high-rise building and choked. One of the thieves takes a direct hit to
his private parts from a flying baseball.
PROFANITY 2 - A handful of scatological references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Crooked bank dealings, child growing pains.
MESSAGE - Be careful what you wish for; it might come true.

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. |
