The Cruise | 1998 | PG-13 | - 2.1.5
Eccentric and impassioned tour guide Timothy "Speed" Levitch escorts us (along with several bus-loads of tourists) through the streets of New York City in this documentary by Bennett Miller. [1:16]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Lots of sexual innuendo (including references to erections and an orgy). While looking at and describing a building, a man makes a reference to being nude and chasing a nude woman through a forest; he also groans and grunts repeatedly as if having sexual intercourse.
VIOLENCE/GORE 1 - A verbal threat.
LANGUAGE 5 - Three F-words, an anatomical reference, several mild obscenities and an insult.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - New York City, city tours, philosophical musings, generational issues, sincerity, success vs. failure.
MESSAGE - Even if life seems like an endless circle, you can still have a good time; try to live your life to the fullest and help others do the same.
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.
