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.

Rating: 5

There is a scene where a woman goes night swimming nude. Nothing is graphically shown, but you see her diving into the pool naked and see a breif glimpse of her naked body (hard to see its in motion) and taking her clothes off. David Spade's character watches attentively and it is implied he's about to masturbate (you hear his zipper go and when tommy comes in he rushes under the covers).

A woman gets out of a swimming pool, wearing a very revealing bikini.

Richard punches Tommy multiple times and then hits him really hard with a stick. We later see a big bruise on the side of his face. Mostly for laughs, but still sort of violent.

Rating: 4

Several uses of "d*ck" in different forms. Many h***s, d***s, and s***s. A man also says "s**** you" to a group of people.

Two larger men are called a large quantity of ridiculing names.

tommy's father dies and people who have lost someone in their life may find this sad and emotional

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. this), 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). 40 and up is pretty much high R / NC-17 (i.e. Pulp Fiction)

Total 18/50
