A man and a woman have sex on a bed. The woman is passed out. He thrusts and calls her name a few times, but then stops to see if she's alright. She then asks him "Why are you stopping, mother******," to which he starts thrusting again and telling her he's sorry.

A man and a woman have sex in a car. The top of the woman is mainly seen, where she is wearing a bra. The man's torso and head are seen on him, but it is implied he is naked.

A man is shown flashing people multiple times. At one point in the film, there is a prolonged chase to which you see full-frontal nudity almost every time you see the flasher.

A man peeks over the wall of a dressing room where two women are dressing (we see one with bare breasts and the other wearing a bra) and he takes a photo of them.

We see prostitutes on a street (one wears a very short skirt that reveals her thighs). A woman wearing a low-cut top adjusts her breasts in front of a mirror while a man admires her.

A woman wears short skirts that reveal legs to the thigh and in one scene the dress is hiked up to reveal her panties and part of her buttock.

Two men point laser pointers at the clothed breasts and buttocks of women walking through a mall. The camera lingers on the clothed buttocks of a woman walking through a mall.

The violence in this film is shockingly brutal for a comedy.

A group of drug dealers threaten the protagonist and, in response, the protagonist beats them using his nightstick. One of the dealers has his arm twisted and his bone rips through his skin in close-up.

The protagonist uses a tazer on a man for not following proper parking rules.

The protagonist and a fellow mall cop beat up a group of kids for skateboarding in a non-skateboarding zone at the parking lot of the mall. One of the kids are held down and has his face maced. Another kid attempts to run away from the scene but the protagonist smashes the kid's head with his skateboard from a moving vehicle.

Many police officers attack the protagonist. The protagonist beats up many of the police officers with his flashlight until he is surrounded and attacked by a group of officers. A fellow mall cop then lunges himself towards the group of officers to save the protagonist. The protagonist then runs towards the man who has led the police officers and begins to fight him. The man hits the protagonist with a sign and they exchange several punches and kicks (their faces are bloodied up). The other officers eventually come over and beat up the protagonist. The protagonist is then seen arrested with his face sliced up and bloodied.

The protagonist chases a flasher throughout the mall, and the chase ends with the protagonist shooting the flasher with a gun at point-blank range. Blood is splattered on the protagonist's face and there is a great deal of blood on the floor and the flasher's body. The bullet wound is shown in graphic detail.

Around (and possibly over) 150 f-bombs, some of which are mouthed.

Some graphic anatomical slang, several of which are said by the flasher at the very beginning of the film.

Close to 2 dozen each of s-words and religious profanities.

Ronnie takes strong medication for his bipolar disorder, and Brandi basically admits that she uses it for recreation by calling it "good s***", and over-using the word "party" while drunk. Ronnie decides at that moment to stop taking his medication without the supervision of a doctor, and he gives her the bottle. She guzzles the pills with gratuitous amounts of tequila, and the effects are seen as she's in a state where you see she's close to a comatose state.

When Ronnie finally goes over the deep end and his extreme amount of anguish is showing, Dennis encourages him to go on a drug and alcohol binge. Dennis snorts several lines of cocaine, while Ronnie guzzles whiskey, shares a joint with Dennis, and they both take either LSD or strong medication for recreational purposes. The screen goes black and Dennis warns Ronnie about something coming up. He says "I'm not going to lie to you, Ronnie, this isn't good at all." You then see Dennis using heroin via a syringe (blood shows up, he has a strap around his arm and his reactions clearly show the effects). Ronnie seems disgusted, and it's implied that he didn't use heroin.

This movie is definitely not the sex romp it's advertised- it's very dark, disturbing and at times even depressing. The subject is a man with bipolar disorder, and the depiction is quite disturbingly depcited. The falsely stated date rape scene may upset a few, the scene where they beat the skateboarders up is quite disturbing too. This is DEFINITELY not a film I reccomend to anyone under 17- I'm 17 myself and while I loved it, I was quite disturbed too.
