SEX/NUDITY 6 - Many instances of sexual innuendo and a passionate kiss (as well as a few near-kisses). We see two illustrations on storyboards that show a nude man and woman having intercourse (the woman is on top of the man, and her bare breasts are very visible). We hear several references to a man's "hobby" of liking -- and presumably having sexual relations with -- teen girls; in one scene a girl who learns of his hobby goes to his hotel room and they flirt a bit, in another scene we see him in a robe as she's leaving his hotel room (a kiss between the two is implied, but not seen), and in another scene she accuses him of taking advantage of her. A woman wearing high heels and a long shirt walks out of a hotel room and yells at a man (who later walks out with a towel around his waist) about her inability to "come." We see the bare legs of a probably-nude woman lying on a man's hotel room bed, then we see her bare back and upper shoulders when she stands in front of him (he denies her advances; nothing sexual happens). Several discussions about a woman's refusal to appear topless in a movie, as well as references to the fact that she's appeared topless in many previous movies. A man comments that ties accentuate men's genitals (as opposed to bowties, which accentuate the ears). In a non-sexual scene, we see a woman's bare back when she removes her shirt in front of a man (he tells her to take it off because he doesn't like it); also, we see a woman wearing a cleavage-revealing top and a girl wearing a few midriff-revealing tops.

VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - In a scene that's somewhat played for laughs, a man burns his thumb with a lighter and then gets a fishing hook caught in his thumb (we see a close-up of the bloody wound, then see a bandage on his thumb in later scenes). A swerving car flips onto its roof and hits a street light; a bystander pulls the driver out of the car, and then a passenger climbs out (both have bloody facial cuts and one has some blood on his shirt; in later scenes both have small bandages on their heads and one is wearing a wrist brace). A man intentionally throws a weight through a window; it's implied that a shard of glass falls on his head, but we don't see the wound. A man grabs another's shirt.

LANGUAGE 6 - About 7 F-words, a couple of anatomical references and lots of anatomical slang terms (in reference to breasts), some scatological references, a few mild obscenities, a couple of religious profanities, a couple of insults (plus an anti-Semitic slur and a derogatory term for homosexuals).

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Movie productions, "small-town" America, reneging on a contract, bribery, falling in love, underage drinking (a teen takes a sip of a man's mixed drink), an older man's interest in (and involvement with) teen girls, legal depositions, perjury, honesty.

MESSAGE - Every problem can be solved (though not necessarily through legitimate means).
