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.
Reese Witherspoon endangers herself and her family when she
begins a relationship with psycho Mark Wahlberg.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A brief glimpse of naked women in a magazine, sexual
innuendo, brief fondling through clothes, a man caresses a woman under her skirt as she
sighs and moans, lots of passionate kissing. A woman is sitting on her boyfriend's lap
gyrating, her nearly bare buttocks (she's wearing a thong) are seen. A man and woman have
sex: he pulls her underwear off, we see his bare chest and we see them kissing and
thrusting.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A nightclub brawl. A man viciously hits a woman resulting
in a black eye, a man chases a boy and breaks his neck, a man is thrown out a window
amidst breaking glass and lands with a thud (some blood in his mouth). A couple of other
people are beaten up. A drill through someone's hand (a little blood), the bloody head of
a dog is thrown into a house, a man is shot point-blank in the head, a man is run over by
a car. Some yelling scenes, lots of property damage and threats.

PROFANITY 8 - About 20 F-words, many scatological references, some mild
obscenities and anatomical references. [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.
