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. |

Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson star as the parents of an
African-American teenager who discovers that she is the product of artificial
insemination. What's even worse, Dad is white, and a smarmy truck salesman, to boot.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - One sex scene in which we see a topless woman. Another
near-sex scene with lots of clothed groping and kissing. Some jokes about sex, especially
in a scene at the sperm bank, during which one character must donate sperm.
VIOLENCE/GORE 0 - None.
PROFANITY 3 - A few scatological references and several harsh terms. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Unmarried motherhood, using a sperm bank, pre-marital sex,
i.e., the birds and the bees.
MESSAGE - Love makes a family, not biology.

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. |
