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.

Sex & Nudity

A man and a woman kiss, the man lies bare-chested on the floor and the woman buttons her top suggesting that they have had sex; then he pulls her down to the floor, kisses her ear and neck. Men and women kiss in many scenes, and a man and a woman kiss and hug. A married man and a woman who's not his wife kiss. A woman kisses an older man. A woman kisses a woman on the cheek several times and moves around the room seductively while talking about another woman having had an affair. A woman talks about having an affair with a married man. Women flirt with men and there are several scenes full of sexual tension. A woman talks about another woman's companion (alluding to the fact that it was a homosexual relationship). Women talk about contraception and pass around a diaphragm. Women talk about a man who happens to be a professor and say, "he sleeps with the students"; also, a younger woman says to a professor "we shouldn't have slept together." Men and women dance together in a few scenes. Nudes are seen in paintings shown in art history classes (the Sistine Chapel, for example). Women talk about a painting being erotic. A woman opens a shower curtain and we see a man nude from the waist up. Women wear bathing suits in a couple of scenes (we see bare legs and cleavage) and women are shown in undergarments and putting on corsets while the end credits roll. Women wear dresses that are low-cut and reveal cleavage, bare shoulders and backs, in several scenes. A woman wears a short top that reveals her bare abdomen.
