ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

In this 19th century comedy based on Oscar
Wilde's play, a happily married couple's relationship is on the rocks when a
conniving acquaintance threatens to reveal a dishonorable deed from the husband's
past. With Rupert Everett, Julianne Moore, Jeremy Northam, Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver,
John Wood, Lindsay Duncan, Peter Vaughan, Jeroen Krabbe, Benjamin Pullen, Michael Culkin
and Marsha Fitzalan. [1:36]
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Many kisses, some passionate; a woman and a shirtless man
kiss and briefly lie on top of each other in bed before the scene ends. A man touches a
woman's cleavage for a few seconds while kissing her. We briefly see a woman's
bare breast as she gets out of bed (a shirtless man is also in the bed) and we see lots of
women in cleavage-revealing dresses. In one scene, men with towels wrapped around their
waists sit in a sauna.
VIOLENCE/GORE 0 - None.
PROFANITY 2 - Some mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Blackmail, dishonesty, forgiveness, politics, bachelorhood.
MESSAGE - Nobody's perfect; two wrongs don't make a right; most lies
and schemes are eventually discovered.

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. |
