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. |

Former golf pro Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) loses interest
in the game after returning from World War I but finds inspiration from a mysterious caddy
(Will Smith), who helps Junuh compete in a tournament sponsored by an ex-lover (Charlize
Theron). Also with Joel Gretsch, Jack Lemmon, Bruce McGill, J. Michael Moncrief, Andrea
Powell and Lane Smith. [2:05]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A few kisses and a brief moment of sexual innuendo (a woman
walks into a room as a man talks about a woman putting something in her mouth -- it's
unclear what he is describing, although salaciousness is implied). A man and woman kiss
passionately as they begin to undress (only his jacket and tie and the sheer outer layer
on her dress are removed). A woman undresses to a full slip as she and a man talk about
having sex; she then sits on his clothed lap and they kiss. A man hits a golf ball into a
woman's cleavage as she lays on the floor.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A war scene with a few explosions and people falling down
when hit; some corpses with no bloody wounds are also shown. A man clutches his chest as
he has a heart attack and falls down. We hear a gunshot and then see a man's hand, which
was holding a gun, fall open. A group of people are nearly hit by a golf ball in two
separate scenes. A boy falls from a tree (played for laughs). We hear war sounds in a
man's memory.
PROFANITY 4 - Many mild obscenities, a couple of scatological references,
and an anatomical reference. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Golf, the Depression, suicide, war.
MESSAGE - When you play the game of life, play for enjoyment rather than for
victory.

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. |
