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. |

A publicity stunt turns into the ultimate lopsided
competition, when the world famous New York Rangers face-off against the team from
Mystery, Alaska, a hockey-loving town of only 633 people. With Russell Crowe, Hank Azaria,
Mary McCormack, Lolita Davidovich, Ron Eldard, Colm Meaney, Maury Chaykin and Burt
Reynolds.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Lots of sexual innuendo with references to masturbation,
homosexuality and adultery; condoms are shown and discussed. A sex scene with a woman on
top in her bra groaning and thrusting. A couple starts to have sex: she's stripping
and we see the tops of her breasts; he begins to strip and they open a condom but he
prematurely ejaculates. A man is naked except for a jock strap and we see his buttocks and
a brief glimpse of the bottom of his scrotum. A trailer is rocking and we hear groans.
There are a few kissing scenes (and one scene of French kissing).
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man is shot in the foot (not seen) with some blood. A
skater is hit hard while on the ice. A man hits another in the mouth and knocks him out,
there's a punch in the face and a punch in the eye leaving a bloody nose and a black
eye. There are some fights on the ice during hockey games. A man has a heart attack and
dies. A man is hit during a game and cuts his eye leaving blood running down his face
throughout game. A bloody face and bandage are seen. A man is hit in the crotch with a
puck. There are two vomiting scenes.
PROFANITY 7 - About 26 F-words, some mild obscenities, many scatological and
anatomical references. [profanity glossary]

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. |
