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. |

Two brothers deal with ghosts, death and basketball when
one dies during a game.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo (including references to masturbation). A
kiss. A naked man in the shower seen waist-up only.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man dies of a heart attack while holding onto a
basketball hoop, falls onto the court and hits his head hard. A fistfight, a fight amongst
team members on the court with hitting and slapping. A man is thrown against a backboard
and hits his neck and shoulder and thereby breaks his collarbone. A mascot is hit in the
crotch by a teeter-totter. Pratfalls, scuffles. When the ghost appears we hear eerie
voices, and lights flicker on and off.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, many mild obscenities, some anatomical references,
a few scatological references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Basketball, death, siblings, winning and competition.
MESSAGE - It's better to win by not cheating. Death must be accepted.

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. |
