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. |

A shoe salesman with big dreams begins to alienate his
girlfriend and his childhood friends when he gets in over his head with gambling debts and
loan sharks. With Adrien Brody, Michael Gallagher, Tony Gillan, Sybil Temchen, Lisa
Roberts, Frank Vincent and James E. Moriarty. [1:48]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Sexual innuendo and a few kisses. We briefly see a couple
kissing passionately. A man and woman kiss passionately and unbutton each other's shirts
(his bare chest and her bra are visible); we then see him thrusting on top of her (both
are still clothed, but we see most of her bare legs). After a man gets out of the shower,
we see his bare backside, then see him holding a towel in front of his groin.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man punches another; first we see a bloody cut under his
eye, then see him with an extremely bruised eye. A man is thrown into a bathroom and his
head is shoved into a toilet. A scuffle and a fistfight. A few men are slapped; one man is
slapped repeatedly. Police drag several men out of a house, push them against a car hood
and put them in handcuffs. During a couple of arguments, a man grabs a woman's arms and
raises his fist to her. We briefly hear a man and woman screaming at each other. One scene
of threatening with guns and a few verbal threats. We see a man who apparently had a heart
attack recovering in the hospital.
PROFANITY 10 - About 190 F-words, lots of anatomical and scatological
references, several mild obscenities and many insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Gambling, loan sharks, dysfunctional families and
relationships, friendship, following your dreams, loyalty, betrayal.
MESSAGE - Life doesn't always turn out the way you hoped or expected it
would. Follow your dreams.

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. |
