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

Frequent and graphic sex-related discussions. A man briefly holds up a pornographic magazine displaying a vagina and makes a remark about being able to see her kidneys, and a woman (accidently) has sex with a corpse, though this is off-camera. The corpse is seen with an erection under a sheet. Characters discuss, for example, a man who broke his neck while trying to perform fellatio on himself, and in one scene a man reads off a list of extremely graphic porno film titles in front of a woman and her young daughter.

Violence & Gore

Some brief hockey violence and a short fight between the two main characters.

Profanity

Around 100 "Fuck's", MANY of them used sexually. A gigantic variety of anatomical phrases, uttered in ways so vulgar the movie was originally given an NC-17.

Cigarette smoking throughout the film, as well as cigarettes being sold, including a sale to a minor.

Jay and Silent Bob deal marijuana outside the store.

Some may be disturbed when it is revealed that a woman had sex with a dead person, despite it being played for laughs.
