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.
A wealthy black businessman (Orlando Jones) thinks his life

Macer Jr., Benny Nieves, Andrea Navedo and Vivica A Fox. [1:28]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Many instances of sexual innuendo (mostly in the form of lewd
humor), including references to masturbation, incest (a man teases about his childhood
when his grandfather tried things on him), casual sex, and several sex jokes about women

outfits. A man grabs his clothed crotch and shakes it at a woman. A man lightly slaps a
nun in the buttocks. A woman licks a lollipop suggestively. We see several shirtless men
on a beach.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Several instances of threatening with guns, with several
shots are fired and several people killed. We see the tip of a gun appear on screen in
front of a man's face and then hear a loud shot fired off screen; we later hear the man
was murdered. A man is shot in the chest and dies. Three people are shot to death; we see
their corpses on the floor. A man shoots another in the side of the head at point blank
range and kills him; we see the gun and hear the shot but don't see any blood. A man is
shot in the chest; we see a little blood. A man shoots a chandelier and it falls on a man
and kills him; we see the corpse. A man accidentally shoots his foot, then falls down a
flight of stairs and in the process accidentally kills himself by shooting himself in the
gut when falling. A man fires a bazooka and it hits a car, causing a loud and fiery
explosion. A man elbows another in the chest. A man kicks another man several times, one
time in the groin. Cops slam a man against a car and search him. A woman is punched in the
face. A man is tossed into a wall, strangled, and has a knife put to his throat. A man has
a door slammed in his face and is knocked out. A man punches another man in the face and
knocks him out. A man tries to throw a man off a moving train, and eventually succeeds;
the man tossed tumbles down an embankment but is not hurt. A man hanging on the side of a
train is hit by a railroad sign and tossed off the train. A car crashes into two other
cars. A car is shot at and hit several times, causing the windshield to shatter. A man
opens a car door and trips a man running by. Twice a dog bites a man's ankle. A man with a
dog drives a car into a river but both dog and man survive unscathed. A man accidentally
slings a chain into his crotch and then passes gas. We see one shirtless corpse with blood

PROFANITY 5 - Lots of anatomical and scatological references, many mild
obscenities, several religious profanities, many insults and racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
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.
