Cops and Robbersons | 1994 | PG | - 2.3.2
Comedy starring Chevy Chase as a man whose household is taken over by the police for a stakeout. Jack Palance co-stars.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - There is a shot of two nude backsides, (one male and one female) in a brief shower scene.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - There's a car explosion in which a man is killed. A man practices killing people by shooting watermelons. A family is taken hostage. And everyone in the film eventually wields a gun. There is a strong violent undertone to the film, even if it is supposedly all in good fun.
LANGUAGE 2 - There are a handful of scatological and anatomical references, and milder profanities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Issues surrounding raising a family; the growing problem of violence in our society.
MESSAGE - Sometimes it takes an extraordinary situation to remind everyone what it means to be a real family. Also, what it means to be an adult and still be able to dream.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Civil War - 1.7.10
The First Omen - 6.9.5
Monkey Man - 6.9.9
