SEX/NUDITY 5 - Some sexual innuendo (including references to homosexuality) and a little kissing. A woman throws a man on a bed, gets on top of him and takes off her shirt (we only see her cleavage and bare shoulders). A man and woman, both obviously naked, are wrapped in a towel; the man gets out of the towel and we see his bare backside (two brief shots). A woman scratches her clothed crotch in front of two men and makes reference to a sexually transmitted disease. A man simulates sodomy using two action figures. A man puts his hand down the back of his pants and tells a friend he has his finger in his rear-end (we see his underwear and the top of his buttocks). In a few scenes we see a man's upper buttocks when his pants are falling down. We see many women in their bras and underwear (many wearing buttock-revealing thong underwear) in a dressing room, several scantily clad women dancing suggestively, and a man in his underwear.

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Not surprisingly, most of the violence in this film is associated with big-time wrestling. During wrestling matches we see many punches, kicks (including some kicks to the crotch), smacks, crotch-grabbing and body slams; also, a man is slammed into a table, a man is hit over the head (and later in the face) with a metal folding chair, a man hits another with a chain, a man is slammed into some equipment, a man's clothes catch on fire, two men and a woman are hit in the head with a steel ladder, men are hit with crutches and garbage cans and a man is thrown through glass. During the matches we see a few bloody faces and a close-up shot of blood gushing down a man's face. There's a "death cage match" in which a couple wrestlers are thrown off the cage and have their faces cut on the fence (we their bloody faces). There are a couple fights outside the ring with punches exchanged. A man's head goes through a glass door, a man spits in another's face and a man throws a bottle through a window. There's a truck wreck that is a little scary but nobody gets hurt (although many get splattered with human waste). We see a man sitting on a toilet. Lots of crude scatological humor with many verbal and visual references and jokes.

PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, lots of anatomical references and slang terms, lots of scatological references, several mild obscenities and many insults. [profanity glossary]

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Professional wrestling, father-son relationships, idolatry, following your dreams, marriage, love, bathroom humor.

MESSAGE - Even the greatest heroes need a little help from their friends.
