For a class project three college students start a rumor
about a chaste woman's sexual encounter that leads to accusations of date rape. With James
Marsden, Lena Headey, Norman Reedus, Kate Hudson, Marisa Coughlan, Joshua Jackson, Sharon
Lawrence, Edward James Olmos, Eric Bogosian, Debrah Farentino, Marc Hickox and Vicky
Lambert. [1:31]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - Lots of sexual innuendo, including references to
multiple-partner sex, sadomasochism, date rape and fellatio and a couple of kisses. A few
scenes of men and women kissing passionately: in one scene a man pulls a woman's dress
strap down (she pulls it back up with no nudity visible), caresses her thigh under her
dress (we see the side of her bare leg and thigh) and then lies of top of her as they kiss
on a bed; in another scene a man with an open shirt stands between a woman's legs and
caresses her bare thigh (her skirt is pulled up to her upper thighs); and in another scene
a woman takes off a man's shirt, then we see them rolling on a table and kissing
passionately (it's implied that they have intercourse). A woman tells police detectives
what she remembers from a pre-rape encounter (nothing graphic is said). We see some women
in cleavage- and midriff-revealing tops.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Someone is shot and appears to die (we see blood on the
person's shirt). Men punch and kick each other, one slams another into a table, and one
breaks a flower pot over another's head (both get bruised faces and one gets a bloody
nose). A man and woman struggle on a bed briefly and she bites his hand and scratches his
cheek, resulting in slightly bloody cuts. A few shoves and grabs, and a woman slaps the
side of a man's head. We learn someone has died under suspicious circumstances. A woman
throws a glass on the floor and a man pushes over a glass wall cabinet. One instance of
threatening with a gun; also, two people scuffle over a gun. We see a photograph of a
bloody-faced woman on a man's wall. A man helps a woman to a toilet and we hear her
coughing and presumably vomiting.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word and possibly another muffled one, many anatomical
references, several scatological references, a few mild obscenities and several insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Rumors, rape, deception, drunkenness, police investigations.
MESSAGE - Rumors aren't just harmless words -- they can destroy people's
lives.
