Sex & Nudity

  • A woman is shown fully nude while talking to her neighbor. Her husband, fully nude as well, joins her as they both talk to the neighbor. Her nipples and vagina are visible on the woman, and her husband's penis is visible.
  • Multiple types of alternate sexual experiences are explored, including sexual pleasure by pouring food on the body, acting like a baby, licking dirt, homosexual cuddling, sexual pleasure by levitating, pleasure by smacking one's head against another person's head, pleasure from pooping and leaving it in random places, pleasure by publicly rubbing your genitals against someone else, and pleasure by oral sex.
  • Between three and five non-explicit but nonetheless graphic uses of oral sex. No nudity is shown.
  • Two men are seen naked, their penises are visible.
  • A woman picks up a bottle with her vagina. Fully visible.
  • One of the female protagonists, a go-go dancer at a local biker dive-bar, the Holiday House, who goes by her stage name "Ursula Udders" because of her very large N-cup breast implants and has a penchant for indecent exposure in which she actually flashes herself in front of the camera.
  • Two squirrels have sex together and fall through a ceiling. Not graphic, though we do see thrusting.
  • A snake bursts out of a man's crotch as a joke.

Violence & Gore

  • Characters change from being excessively prudish to completely uninhibited when they receive concussions on their heads. All of these scenes are lighthearted and comedic, and we see many ways the concussions happen through a variety of accidents. But no one suffers from a serious injury.
  • A squirrel is run over by a car (offscreen), but it is resuscitated.
  • Several people smack their heads against each others to get sexual pleasure.

Profanity

  • The theatrical, NC-17 rated version uses occasional but not frequent profanity.
  • The entire film centers on various alternative sexual experiences, some of that are creative such as ta-tas instead of tits or funnin' instead of f**kin'. Sure, older teens and adults will understand what they mean; but the alternative words will go over most of the kids' heads. Therefore, it doesn't make it too extreme when it comes to profanity.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man swallows a cup filled with prozac pills.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene where a squirrel is run over might disturb some sensitive viewers.
