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. |

Kirsten Dunst, Gaby Hoffmann, Heather Matarazzo, Monica
Keena and Caterina Scorsone are a group of clever and ambitious boarding-school girls who
thwart the administrators' plans to merge with a boys' school. Co-starring Lynn Redgrave,
Rachael Leigh Cook, Merritt Wever, Matthew Lawrence, Robert Bockstael and Vincent
Kartheiser.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Lots of sexual innuendo. Kissing, often passionately. A boy
in boxers and girl in a slip kiss in bed, then try to figure out how to use contraceptive
foam (the can eventually explodes all over them). A woman undresses a man down to his
boxer shorts; we later see them kissing (her dress is unzipped). While a man kisses a
woman, he unzips her dress and lifts up her bra (we don't see her breasts). A woman rubs
her hips against a boy as they slow dance, and he suddenly jumps away from her, pulling
his jacket over his groin (it's unclear whether he has an erection or he ejaculates). A
girl moans and moves as if she's having intercourse. A girl reaches for a man's crotch. We
see lots of girls in slips and bras, one girl wearing a towel and several pictures of
scantily clad women in a catalog of sexual toys. We see several boys in their boxer shorts
and a naked man covering his groin area with his hands.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - Some boys punch a few other boys. We hear a girl vomiting
and see lots of boys vomiting.
PROFANITY 2 - One anatomical reference (plus a couple slang terms), one mild
obscenity and several insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Practical jokes and schemes, drinking, learning about one's
sexuality, friendship, standing up against authority figures, bulimia, sexual harassment.
MESSAGE - Girls have the brains and the ability to be and do anything they
want.

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. |
