Note: The number at the beginning of each section refers to how explicit that aspect of the film is on a scale of 1-10. The fraction at the end of the Frightening/Intense Scenes category is the total sum of all the sections out of the highest sum possible (50) and therefore an approximation of how much explicit content of any kind is in the film.Sex & Nudity: 7A man in a porn theater makes many obscene noises (as if he is masturbating). He then turns around and is holding a black dildo (as a joke). During this scene, you can hear moaning from the porn film that is playing, and a quick glance at the screen very briefly shows scantily clad girls rubbing one another.When joking, provoking, or angry, characters often ask each other insulting sexual questions.

Do not even consider showing it to viewers younger than 17.An idea of how accurate the TECE (below) is: 5-10 is a little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e. Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty); 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e. The Incredibles); 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e. Indiana Jones), 20-25 is going to pretty darn adult (i.e. The Dark Knight); 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for anyone under 17 (i.e. Braveheart); 30-40 is going to be an absolutely, positively adults-only film (i.e. Saving Private Ryan), and over 40 is going to be hard R to NC-17 (i.e. THIS).Total Explicit Content Estimation: 43/50.
