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

Two brief sex scenes lasting around five seconds each, one with clearly visible nudity. A man makes many very explicit sexual remarks during a seminar about how to seduce women. A woman asks a man if he has molested his daughter. A man (seemingly accidentally) flips to a pornographic program on TV that shows a close-up of a woman nude for a few seconds.

Violence & Gore

A man shoots himself in the head. The camera pans over and blood splatters on the wall. A boy tries to kill himself by jumping off of a building. A man and a woman fight, and the woman draws a shotgun and accidentally shoots a boy in the stomach. A man falls off a telephone pole and smashes his face against the ground. A man holds a gun to his head, which accidentally goes off. In the film's climax, frogs rain from the sky causing pandemonium and we see blood splatter in various spots from where the frogs have landed

Profanity

Very heavy language throughout the entire film. Lots of 4-letter words and very explicit sexual dialogue. 190 'F' Words and a few 'C' words

A woman is shown snorting cocaine many times throughout the film.

Frogs fall from the sky like rain, injuring people and causing damage. The scenes with the frogs are intense and their sudden appearance may be frightening.
