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. |

Casper the Friendly Ghost is back and has made friends with
psychologist to the ghosts Bill Pullman and his daughter Christina Ricci.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A couple of chaste kisses, a couple of vague sexual
references.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Many scenes, played for laughs, where people encounter the
ghosts and scream and run away. A man has his head twisted backwards, a car is hit by a
demolition ball, the ghosts scream and make scary faces and they chase people (sometimes
with weapons). The ghosts contemplate killing a man, a young girl is sent flying down a
rail on a trick chair, a woman tries to kill a man with an ax and then tries to run him
down with a car. The car crashes into a tree and she falls down a ravine (and dies). A man
is tossed out a window. Many pratfalls and tumbles.
PROFANITY 1 - A few mild obscenities, a couple of vague sexual references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Death and ghosts.
MESSAGE - You will be rewarded for your good deeds; sacrificing for someone
else what you wanted for yourself is good.

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. |
