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 nude man wakes up next to a nude woman in bed (they are covered by sheets); he climbs out of bed, and he appears completely nude as he opens a window to a large crowd who mistakes him for the messiah. Later, the woman is shown completely nude (her pubic region is clearly visible, while her hair covers her breasts).

In another scene, a man appears to be nude (whose genitals are obscured by his long hair).

Some discreet mild sexual references throughout.

Violence & Gore

Contains some mild comedic violence which is devoid of blood and gore and is unlikely to upset or disturb younger viewers. Such scenes include a stoning sequence, a mass crucifixion, a lynch mob and a group suicide.

Profanity

Contains occasional use of "fuck" as well as some milder terms.

None.

None.

Any impact from violent or suspenseful scenes is mitigated by the humourous tone of the film.
