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.
Demi Moore is a young mother who takes it all off to earn
money for her custody case.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - Sexual innuendo, about seven scenes of women stripping with
suggestive dancing, bare breasts and G-string clad buttocks, topless women dancing in the
background in club scenes.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - People are threatened by weapons (guns, knives, a power
drill, a bottle), people are beaten up a handful of times and sometimes we see bruised and
bloody faces as a result. A man lies in a puddle of blood with a head wound. A corpse has
a crab-eaten face.

PROFANITY 6 - About 7 F-words, many scatological references, a few mild
obscenities, some anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Stripping, custody battles, political scandals.
MESSAGE - You do what you have to do. The film keeps making the point that
stripping is basically no different than dancing.
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.
