Sex & Nudity

  • No nudity. In one scene, played tongue-in-cheek, a fully dressed couple are melodramatically preparing to have sex on a desk top. The scene is not overtly sexual. In one skit a group of prostitutes are standing about trying to look provocative. The scene is meant as a spoof.

Violence & Gore

  • During the "Black Acting School" sequence, a former acting student mentions how he was recently cast in the role of a rapist (and enjoyed the experience).
  • Woman slaps a man.
  • An actor describes how he was hired to play a role in a prison drama, and that his character attempts to force himself sexually on another inmate.
  • There is nothing frightening or gory in the movie. In a number of scenes people are wielding or firing guns, always for comedic effect. There is a scene where a private investigator is roughed up by a group of men dressed in women's skirts.

Profanity

  • During the film noir parody, an anti-gay slur ("faggot") is used.
  • There are 41 uses of shit and 14 of fuck (none sexually used). Most of these occur in two or three skits, and are spoken offhandedly rather than in anger.
  • There are around 10 uses of racial slurs, some of which are seen on picket signs.
  • The only profanity is the occasional use of "damn" such as one would hear on network TV.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • There is no drug use in the movie. There are a few scenes including the end credits where characters are holding drinks, including one portrayal of a wino.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In the context of tongue-in-cheek comedy, there is nothing intense or frightening. I suppose a small child who cannot distinguish the comedy may be alarmed on occasion.
