SEX/NUDITY 6 - Lots of sexual innuendo (including many references to
erections) and a few kisses. A boy and girl kiss passionately, then she unzips his pants,
takes off her skirt and gets into bed while he puts on a condom (we see the condom in his
hands, but don't see anything else); they awkwardly and briefly have intercourse with
slight movement (there's an interruption after the condom breaks and he has to find
another one) and we briefly see the front of his underwear, his bare chest and a bit of
her bra. A couple kisses passionately and it's implied that she briefly performs
fellatio (we see his pants being unzipped and see them bunched around his ankles). Boys
make a bet to see who can have sexual intercourse first, and we see a montage of short
scenes during which they try to convince girls to sleep with them: a boy appears to be
showing a girl his genitals, a boy has his hand between a girl's spread legs and we
see her pleased expression and a boy tells a girl about "blue balls" (no nudity
is seen in any of the scenes). A shirtless and apparently sexually frustrated boy pours
ice water on his genitals (we only see him from the waist up). A man slaps a woman's
clothed buttocks, a boy grabs a girl's clothed buttocks and a boy holds a girl's
clothed buttocks as they dance slowly. A boy and girl dancing very closely are moved apart
by an adult and a boy passionately kisses and dances with a stuffed animal, pretending
it's a girl. Lots of camera shots focusing on girls' legs, clothed buttocks and
clothed breasts; also, a couple of discussions about girls' buttocks. A few times
it's implied a boy has an erection; in one scene, he holds a folder in front of his
clothed groin and in another, the girl he's dancing with feels his erection. We see
two men's bare backsides and a nude man covering his genitals as they're all
showering. We see some women in cleavage-revealing tops and short skirts/shorts; in one
scene, a woman wears a sports bra.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A girl punches and slaps a boy's back after he grabs
her buttocks, a man holds another by the back of the neck (it's comical rather than
violent) and a man pushes some boys and repeatedly punches another, giving him a slightly
bloody lip. A couple of slaps and some scuffling and shoving. A girl makes a menacing
"you're dead" slicing gesture across her neck to a boy. A man threatens a
storeowner with a gun during a robbery. Police force a group of boys to put their hands
behind their heads and stand against a wall while being frisked. We see a man vomit lots
of fluid all over the inside of a car and we see wet spots on his shirt (as well as two
other men's shirts).
PROFANITY 10 - 55 F-words and lots of anatomical references (including many
slang terms), scatological references, mild obscenities, insults and racial slurs (used
among friends, not used maliciously). [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Male friendships, teen sexuality, weddings, marriage,
marijuana use, gangs.
MESSAGE - Strong friendships remain intact throughout all stages of life.
