Alfred Molina is a Cuban released from prison after 20
years who, enroute to be reunited with his family, meets a former prostitute (Marisa
Tomei).
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A couple of glimpses at women's bare breasts. At least five
scenes where we see a man's bare buttocks. In a shower scene, there are about five men
shown from the back (we see buttocks and briefly, barely, glimpse genitals). One character
wears clinging dresses and exposes a great deal of cleavage throughout the film. A woman
dances suggestively grinding her hips against a man. Many passionate kisses and scenes of
fondling and caressing. A man pulls down a woman's skirt exposing her panties. A man
kisses a woman's bare legs, and the woman squeezes his crotch. A suggestion that a woman
is masturbating.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man is shot in the hand and we see a puddle of blood. A
man is kicked and a gun is pointed at his head. A man hits a wall with his fist and breaks
his hand. Some yelling. A woman is scared by a guard dog, screams and runs. A boy is
chased by a man in a car and later is threatened with a knife. A boy runs into glass and
knocks himself out (he is shown with a soiled bandage on his head later).
PROFANITY 5 - Two F-words, several scatological references, and some milder
obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Political prisoners, Cuban refugees, living in a foreign
country.
MESSAGE - You must live and not wait for someone if they might not return.
Sometimes your family are people you are unrelated to by blood or marriage.
