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. |

Jon Lovitz teaches in a high school that is more of a
military zone than an educational institution in this satire of all "teacher saves
students" movies.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Lovitz' bare buttocks, lots of other bare male buttocks. At a
strip club, bikini clad breasts and G-string clad buttocks are wriggled in Lovitz' face.
Kissing during a make-out. Lovitz fondles his girlfriend's clothed breasts. Lots of sexual
innuendo including homosexual and bestiality references. Short skirts and cleavage
revealing tops on the female students. Suggestive dancing: a woman rubs a scarf all over
her clothed body and she is obviously enjoying it.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A student gags and dies on poisoned punch, a student
writes on an arm with a knife and there's blood. An attempted rape that ends in a
fistfight. Sometimes played for laughs: Lots of gang fights with shoving, kicking,
scuffling; Students hit by a principal with a ball bat; Lovitz is pelted with spitballs,
hit in the head with a loose floorboard, electrocuted by a light switch, falls/jumps off a
bus onto a curb. Reckless driving, an explosion, kicks in the crotch.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word in a background song, an obscene gesture, a couple
of scatological references, many mild obscenities and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Teaching, high school, gangs, drugs.
MESSAGE - Some students are worth saving; sanctimonious films about teachers
saving their students are easily satirized.

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. |
