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. |

Adam Sandler stars as a misfit who starts tackling his
problems on the football field. With Kathy Bates and Henry Winkler.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Sexual innuendo (including a reference to bisexuality).
Kissing. A woman shows her breasts to a man (we don't see anything). A man fondles a
clothed woman's breast. A man reveals his tattooed buttocks.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Played mostly for laughs. A man pokes another in the eyes
and delivers a flying kick to yet another. Many are tackled quite roughly (one person is
seen afterward with injuries). A man is hit in the head with a football and another is hit
with an object that first crashes through a window. People put a water cooler over a
man's head and step on it while he's laying on the ground. A woman threatens a
man with a knife. A woman bites the head off a cooked alligator. A woman holds a sign on
which a threatening question is written.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, many anatomical references, some scatological
references, and some mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Being an outcast, being picked on, dysfunctional families and
relationships, weird cuisine.
MESSAGE - Everyone has a special talent. Pursue your dreams even if others are
against your doing so.

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. |
