» In the next few weeks we will be trying out In-Text Advertising, a new type of advertising that we think is less intrusive than many other formats. Basically, keywords on our pages that correspond to an advertiser's product or service will be double-underlined in green. More details here.
Drew Barrymore and Chris O'Donnell star as two teenagers in
love and on a road trip, against parental wishes.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A woman is shown in her underwear a few times and in clinging
clothing often; and a man is shown bare-chested a few times. There are a few scenes of a
couple kissing passionately, and a scene where the two are naked (but we see no nudity)
and they are having sex (there's also an implication of oral sex).
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Reckless driving with two near collisions and one actual
collision (no one is hurt). A woman fires a gun at man's feet and threatens to actually
shoot him and/or herself. Scenes of yelling. A woman is shown restrained by handcuffs in a
mental hospital.
PROFANITY 5 - Two F-words and two variations of the F-word, approximately
ten scatological terms, and a handful of milder obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Parental control, abandonment by a parent, running away,
mental illness, suicide.
MESSAGE - Mental illness is a disease that must be treated -- love alone
won't cure it; nevertheless, everybody needs the support of friends.
