The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
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.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

one of the three main characters is a pimp

there is one scene for about 30 seconds we see a topless female prostitute (no sex involved)

the fact that he gets set up into thinking a 12 year old child is a prostitute is a key point of the movie

at the beginning of the movie we see Zack sit down on the bed and take his shirt off (about to have sex with his girlfriend)....we dont see it -- the scene then goes black and he wakes up after sex

Violence & Gore

one 45 second scene where Zack and Jack fight "schoolyard" style, they wrestle and punch and kick..the next scene shows them beat up.... nothing too bloody, some busted lips and black eyes

Profanity

includes some uses of the F-word. Nothing too heavy

all three characters smoke/drink, and Zack is an alchoholic, all throughout the beginning of the movie he is drinking,

and at the end where we meet Nicoletta he has an entire bottle of wine for himself
