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. |

Jim Carrey plays a milquetoast who acquires superhero
powers when he puts on an ancient mask.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Several shots of cleavage, some flirting and a few kisses. A
condom is shown.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - There is a lot of hollering and property destruction but
it looks cartoon-ish. There are a few shoot-outs, and one scenes leaves a man bloody; he
eventually dies off-screen. In another, about a dozen men are shot; there's little blood,
but we do see the bullet-holes in their clothing. A man falls out a window and is shown
flattened on the street (ala Wile E. Coyote). A man is shown with a muffler protruding
from his back side. A man is used as a golf tee, and gets whacked on the nose. And a man
is flushed down a huge drain. A dog urinates on a man's head.
PROFANITY 3 - About a dozen anatomical and scatological references are used. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Greed, loneliness.
MESSAGE - Nice guys don't always finish last.

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. |
