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.
Martin Lawrence finds himself in a real-life fatal
attraction when spurned girlfriend Lynn Whitfield won't take no for an answer.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Scantily clad dancers in a club, suggestive dancing, lots of
kissing, lots of sexual innuendo (sometimes graphic). A sex scene contains kissing and we
see thrusting and glimpses of her bare breasts.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A man is injured when falling off a horse, a man is in a
pool with a bloody head wound, a brawl breaks out with fistfighting and tables breaking, a
man pushes a woman around. A woman hits herself in the face causing bruises, and she also
slams a door on her arm causing a sprain. A woman terrorizes a man (ruins his car, almost
runs him down in the street), hits him over the head with a vase, kicks him in the crotch
and shoots him (we see a little bit of splattered blood). Two women fall amid breaking
glass into a pool. A man is shown stitched and bandaged in a hospital bed.

PROFANITY 9 - 30+ F-words, many scatological references, some mild
obscenities, many anatomical references, some racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Womanizing, maturity, stalking, falling in love.
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.
