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 new 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 .

Sex & Nudity

There are several sex scenes, most of which are quite brief and intended more for comedy. One depicts woman attempting to initiate sex by masturbating him and performing oral sex (though the acts are hidden).

There is a one night stand followed by a montage of two others, all without nudity. The extended version inserts a third liaison into the montage which shows the woman's breasts as she moves astride the man.

There is a montage of a couple having sex in a variety of different positions. She's in a bikini and he's shirtless.

A married couple attempt to have sex while wearing pajamas. A wife goes under the covers implying she intends to perform oral sex. A man demonstrates sexual techniques for the husband by humping large chess pieces. Later there is a montage of the couple having sex in various positions. They're obviously naked but it's staged to avoid any frontal nudity.

In a bar bathroom, there is a collage of photos of women flashing their breasts on the wall. We later see another close-up shot of one of the pictures.

Two couples have sex loudly in adjoining rooms. All nudity is obscured.

A man standing face front is shown nude in two scenes--three shots in the first scene and one shot in the second. These glimpses of full frontal nudity are very brief.

There is plenty of vulgar sex talk in social situations, a lot of which is very explicit.

Violence & Gore

A shot of a bloody flesh being handled during an autopsy flashes by several times.

When a piece of coral is pulled out of a man's leg, blood gushes from the wound.

A man stabs a live pig a couple of times. The pig is to be cooked for a luau. (The contact between the blade and the pig is not shown.)

There are a couple of instances of a punch to the face. In one scene, two men slap each other in the face.

Profanity

35 f-bombs(nearly half used sexually), and 20 s-words are the leaders. There is also about half a dozen uses of d*ck in the first 20 minutes alone. Plenty of other anatomical slang, and the usual religious profanities.

In the extended version, the F-word is used 44 times and the S-word 21 times. There are a number of very explicit conversations about sexual matters in very crude terms.

There are references to pot, and one character seems high, but there's no on-screen use. There is quite a lot of drinking and drunkenness throughout the film.

A brief scene of a man stabbing a pig a death. No blood or penetration is shown but the pig's squeals are heard.
