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. |

Mike Myers plays a young man who thinks that the beautiful
and mysterious butcher (Nancy Travis) he's fallen for is a crazed killer.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Sex is implied but not shown. The only nudity is a fully-nude
shot from the back of one male character. A female character is seen grabbing the bare
buttocks of this character and another female fondles a clothed male character's behind a
few times. One scene in which a character fondles meat (and other silly and sick sight
gags with meat...yes, meat -- in a butcher shop).
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A lot of groin kicking. One scene in which a man and a
woman fight. The woman is swinging an axe throughout. No real blood or gore (except the
implied violence in the butcher shop when meat is cleaved). A vivid description of how a
prisoner gouged out the eyes of another prisoner and then relieved himself into the
sockets.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, a few scatological terms and some cussing. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Murder, jealousy, insanity, fear of commitment, making fun of
a child's appearance.
MESSAGE - A vague admonishment against fear of commitment.

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. |
