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. |

Whoopi Goldberg, Mary-Louise Parker and Drew Barrymore star
as three unlikely friends who share all of life's ups and downs.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Men's buttocks are exposed several times as well as a woman's
breasts. A few scenes of sex including passionate kissing, rolling around and groping;
moans and thumping sounds are heard. Some talk of sex, but usually in a frank,
non-titillating manner.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - There is one extended and intense scene of violence where
a man beats up on two women, throwing them into furniture, slamming them against walls,
and slapping them, resulting in bloody faces. A man is pounded on the head with a baseball
bat, and tied to a chair. A man dies when he falls and his head hits the floor.
PROFANITY 7 - A couple of dozen F-words, three scatological terms, a few
mild obscenities, and some sexual references (including slang terms for the female
anatomy). [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Death, AIDS, illegitimacy, domestic violence, lesbianism,
loneliness, prison, friendship, war between the sexes.
MESSAGE - Friendships between women are very special and friendship can last
a lifetime.

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. |
