Sex & Nudity

Mild
11 of 24 found this mild
Also a couple of brief, mild scenes of Larry (Billy Crystal) and Beth (Kim Greist) having sex, no nudity. A writing student's proposed book is about women he wants to have sex with.
Margaret (Kate Mulgrew) is seen in a robe. Mr. Lopez (Tony Ciccone) walks into her room wearing only a towel. She asks if she can borrow the towel and then compliments him on the size of his genitalia, though the couch blocks any view. They then have sex, with Margaret on top, but there is no actual nudity.

Violence & Gore

Mild

This film is a comedy so everything violent is mostly for laughs.
A man tries to push a woman from a boat. We don't see what happens,we only hear the woman screaming.
A man falls down the stairs. Later we see him unconscious on the floor.
A man approaches a woman while holding a pillow with the intention of asphyxiating her.
A man tries to strangle another man.

Profanity

Moderate

"Pork" is used as a euphemism for "fuck" once in the dialog, but subtitled as (the less offensive?) "boing."

Just casual.

Some of the scenes may seem frightening for the younger viewers.
