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. |

An absent-minded professor discovers flying rubber in his
lab. With Robin Williams.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A male and female pose semi-naked for an art class,
partially-clad in robes and shown from behind. No nudity is shown, but the female covers
her bare chest with her folded arms.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - There's a great amount of cartoonish violence, and even
though nobody is seriously injured or killed, it may be scary for younger viewers: A man
sparks two large explosions in his basement. A man jumps out of a 2nd floor window and
lands on his back. Two men are repeatedly hit on the head with a flying golfball and
bowling ball; both men are shown with multiple bumps and bruises. A man is whacked on the
head with an apple. Another man is hit in the head with a basketball. Two people are
back-handed hard in the face. A boy wearing Flubber shoes flies face-first into a
basketball backboard. A boy is hit in the head with a glass ashtray. Two men punch each
other in a comical fight. A woman punches a man repeatedly during the same fight. A man is
thrown through a plate-glass window.
PROFANITY 1 - One mild obscenity. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Ethics, marriage, inventions, playing with chemicals.
MESSAGE - Money isn't everything.

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. |
