Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

a man sets another man up with a woman that we later find out is a prostitute.

A group of people play a game of "porno password" in which they must guess words like "foreskin" and even cruder terms through clues given by other players.

Violence & Gore

Some violent scenes.

Profanity

Many cuss words including the t-word.

A man gets drunk and is in bed with a woman the next morning, but does not remember what went on

The entire film is very dark in tone. The film's premise revolves around a stalker who is ceaselessly annoying and it gets to the point where he makes threats and follows through with them. the Cable Guy is a disturbed individual, and much of the humor comes from his twisted antics.

There is also a side plot revolving around a murder trial. While not frightening per se,it is certainly unsettling at times.
