ASSIGNED NUMBERS

MPAA Rating: R

A John Waters' black comedy about the perfect suburban mom, who's also a serial killer.

SEX/NUDITY 5 - Several brief but obvious flashes of a pornographic movie showing nude, abnormally large breasts, and a number of skin magazines with varying degrees of female nudity. There is one very noisy and rambunctious sex scene between a married couple (they are shown under covers). There is also a very long masturbation scene (also under covers).

VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - There are 7 murders, and all include gore. The murder weapons include scissors, a fireplace poker, a car, an air conditioner, a telephone receiver, falling stage lights and a leg of lamb. One victim is set on fire. All of these scenes are played for comic effect, but they are gruesome nonetheless. Also, several gross-out scenes, involving a squashed fly, disgusting table manners, and phlegm.

PROFANITY 6 - About a dozen F-words, and an assortment of very profane insults, scatological and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Masturbation, drug use, voyeurism.

MESSAGE - Picture-perfect suburbs hide dark secrets.
