SEX/NUDITY 7 - Lots of sexual innuendo. Kissing, often passionately; we
briefly see several couples embracing and kissing on and near a couch. In an extended
scene, a man and woman kiss passionately and roll around in bed (we see their bare backs
and shoulders); he then moves slowly on top of her until we hear them yelling in pleasure
(we also see her scratch his bare back). We see a woman's bare back, upper chest and upper
part of her buttocks as she's thrusting on top of a clothed man; they then discuss whether
he had an orgasm and the sexual position they were in. A man bites a woman's clothed
buttocks, then lies between her spread legs and kisses her passionately. A man hires a
prostitute but they only hold each other in bed. In several scenes, a clothed or scantily
clad couple hold each other or talk in bed (we briefly see two men holding each other). A
woman opens her robe for about 10 seconds so a man can see her nude body (we only see her
bare shoulders and upper chest). We see a woman's bare stomach as she's lying in bed with
a man (her breasts are covered). We see a few women in slips and short skirts, a few
scantily clad prostitutes and a woman in her bra and panties. A man makes a hand gesture,
implying masturbation.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - We see and hear a man slap, shake and throw a woman onto a
bed. A woman throws a shoe at a man. An unconscious woman lying in a hospital bed has
tubes in her nose; we later learn she died and see her casket. A woman chokes on some
food; she hits herself in the chest a few times and recovers. A woman cuts her finger and
bandages it (no blood is seen). A car bumps into another and one of the drivers grabs and
yells at the other. A man's arm is in a sling throughout the movie and we briefly see a
woman with a red, swollen cheekbone and a scab on her upper lip (it's implied that someone
hit her). Someone has a mild seizure. We see a chalk outline of a body on the street and
hear someone in the background saying a man was shot.
PROFANITY 6 - About 13 F-words and derivatives, some anatomical references,
several scatological references, mild obscenities and insults. [profanity glossary]

homosexuality, divorce, fear of relationships, prostitution, forgery, prison life.
MESSAGE - Don't let failed or abusive relationships keep you from falling in
love again.
