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.
Jean Reno and Juliette Binoche star in this romantic comedy as two strangers --
and complete opposites personality-wise -- who meet at Charles de Gaulle airport
in Paris while planes are grounded due to a strike and bad weather. Also with
Sergi López and Scali Delpeyrat. Directed by Danièle Thompson. In French with
English subtitles. [1:31]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A pornographic movie plays on a TV set: we see a
woman on her hands and knees, and a man thrusting from behind and hear the woman
moaning (he's bare-chested and we see her bare legs). A man and a woman hug, he
kisses her neck, she lies back on a massage table, he climbs on top of her, they
kiss and are interrupted. A man and a woman kiss. A man and a woman lie in bed
together (they're clothed). There is sexual tension: a man and a woman are
saying goodbye and they appear to lean toward each other to kiss but do not. A
woman lies nude in bed covered with a sheet but when she sits up a bit we see
part of her bare breasts and nipples. A nude woman swims and we see her bare
back, buttocks and legs when she climbs out of the pool. A man and a woman talk
about sex and pretend to have orgasms. A man invites a woman to come to his
hotel room (in a non-sexual context).
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A man pounds on a table a couple of times, one
time breaking a glass that cuts his hand. A man grabs a woman, pulls her out of
a taxi and yells at her. A man suffers from several anxiety attacks: he breathes
heavily, holds his chest, begins to lose consciousness. A man lies on the floor
of a bathroom, a woman opens the door and hits him on the head. A reference is
made to spousal abuse. A woman talks about having been slapped as a child by her
parents. A man talks about a woman's grandmother having died and that he's going
to the funeral. A woman talks to her mother on the phone and it is suggested
that she has taken a quantity of pills. A man spills salad oil and it splashes
onto a woman. A woman urinates in a toilet (we hear the trickle).

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.
