Three best friends (Eddie Griffin, Anthony Anderson and Michael Imperioli) have grown up together and now live together in the house of an uncle. Their three girlfriends become pregnant at the same time, and each man must decide whether they should remain immature, partying failures or grow up, take responsibility and become fathers to their children. Also with Joanna Bacalso and Bai Ling. Directed by Cheryl Dunye. [1:30]

SEX/NUDITY 5 - A man and a woman are in bed together, the man climbs on top of the woman and they kiss. A man and a woman are in bed together, the man climbs out from under the covers and the woman is moaning. A man and a woman lie in bed together, his shirt is open and we see his bare chest. A man and a woman kiss and caress each other. Two women hold hands and kiss and we hear that they have just come out of a bath together. A man and a woman kiss in several scenes. A man touches a woman's buttocks as a way of identifying her. A man makes suggestive remarks to a woman: "Why don't you put your hand in my pocket" and "you'll have to come out of those clothes." A man tells a woman that brushing her hair is "foreplay." Two babies tell a man in crude terms (their mouths are animated) to go after a woman. We see many photos of women in thongs, exposing bare buttocks. People are shown dancing in a few scenes with thrusting hips, the women wear skimpy outfits, and women dance on raised stages. We hear a woman groaning rhythmically on a TV show and it is suggested that it is a sex scene but it turns out to be a woman in childbirth and we see the baby's head emerging and blood and water gushing. A man is surrounded by three scantily clad women, and he caresses one woman on the thigh. A woman wears a sheer baby doll top and short pants. A man looks at a pornographic magazine (we see a woman in a bikini on the cover). Women wear revealing outfits throughout the movie: A woman wears a leather dress with laces on the side revealing her bare hips; women wear low-cut tops that reveal cleavage; and a woman takes off her dress and she's wearing a tube top and short skirt underneath that expose cleavage, bare abdomen and legs. In an animated introduction a dog clings to a man's leg and thrusts, and a woman wears a short, low-cut top and low-cut pants exposing cleavage and bare abdomen. We see a baby in a bathtub covered from the waist down with bubbles. A man makes a remark about a baby boy's endowment. A woman invites a man to take off her top.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man holds up a store with a gun (it is a lighter). A man punches a man in the face and he hits the ground hard, and a woman punches a man in the face. During a sparring match a man is punched in the face and falls unconscious. A man slaps a man in the face a few times, and a man punches a man in the face and he falls to the ground. A boy kicks a man in the shin, and a man is kicked in the crotch and falls on the ground. A woman yells and is abusive during labor. A man yells at another man. We see a woman in childbirth on TV and we see the babies head emerging and blood and water gush. A boy chases a duck with a cleaver in his hand. Three babies are born and we see them covered with goo and blood. A man and an elderly woman argue and threaten each other with physical violence. Three babies slip down a laundry chute, crawl out the front door of a house and their three fathers panic when they realize they are missing. A man punches a cut of meat with brass knuckles to tenderize it, and a man punches hanging roasted ducks. An animated introduction includes the following: Three young men do karate and one is knocked into a store window breaking it, a man swings a stick at four young men for stealing candy from his store, and a dog is hit in the backside with cupid's arrows. A baby urinates in a man's face several times, and a baby spits up on a man a few times. Several people flatulate.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
