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. |

Seemingly unrelated people work their ways through various
stages of love and life. Starring Gillian Anderson, Ellen Burstyn, Sean Connery, Anthony
Edwards, Angelina Jolie, Jay Mohr, Ryan Phillippe, Gena Rowlands, Jon Stewart, Madeleine
Stowe and Dennis Quaid.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Sexual innuendo and passionate kissing. We see a naked man
and woman in bed (their bare backs and legs are visible), another naked but covered couple
(we briefly see her bare back) kissing and talking in bed, and a half-clothed man and
woman moving and kissing each other. We see some scantily clad women.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - In several scenes, we see a dying man with scabs and sores
on his face. A bookshelf falls on a woman, but she's not injured. A man tells a story
about killing his wife and child in a car accident. We briefly see a close-up of a cat
with a missing eye.
PROFANITY 7 - About 18 F-words, one anatomical reference, many scatological
references and several mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Falling in love, marriage, infidelity, family relationships,
terminal illnesses (including AIDS), death.
MESSAGE - Every relationship has its problems and challenges, but that
shouldn't stop two people from trying to make one work.

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. |
