Sex & Nudity

  • VERY crude sexual content and present in this film.
  • In two scenes, we see a couple post-coitus asleep in bed with covers up to his bare chest and her bare shoulders with part of her abdomen.
  • A woman goes to a man's motel room to find a bottle of hand lotion and the used tissues next to his bed (implying masturbation).
  • Hank buys supplies for him and Irene and we later see that this includes a bottle of booze and a large, flexible dildo.
  • Irene sees a bulge growing down the length of Hank's pants leg and then sees it lifting up his leg (an erection joke) as he leers at her.

  • A man and a woman have sex and she uses a phallic object on him (implied anal sex)
  • A man pushes a child and sucks a woman's breast. We don't see the nipple but we ese him chugging the milk out of her which makes his milk mustache.
  • During the closing credits, we see a still photo of a man's bare butt (non-sexual).
  • Some sexual innuendo (including references to masturbation, anal sex and sex with machinery) and a few kissing scenes (one with french kissing).
  • A man describes using a phallic object on a woman; we also see a phallic object in a few scenes.
  • A man with a sheet up to his bare waist lies in bed and has a woman's picture next to him, along with a bottle of hand lotion and many used tissues (obviously having masturbated earlier).
  • A woman looks at a man's erection under his clothes and a man puts his hands on a woman's clothed breasts.
  • A man unzips his pants in front of old ladies and asks if anyone wants to see his "weasel" then moves it (the women screams).

Violence & Gore

  • A male officer is grabbed and gets beaten off screen.

  • A man is captured and handcuffed to a tree where a chicken is stuck in his anus.
  • A man who tries arresting a man gets punched on the face hard.
  • A man fights his split personality in a car, he bangs his head on the wheel, pushes himself out of the car and chases the car and hops back.
  • A man's thumb is shot off we see his thumb stump and it falls to a river where a fish gulps it (blood sprays and spurts from his hand).
  • A thug hits a woman, goes to a house shoots a man in the chest and hits another in the forehead. (blood spurts)
  • A man is kicked in the face by a woman sending him backwards on a hill, (he has a neck brace and chin bandage).

  • A man fights his split personality, tripping himself, hits and pushes, bending his finger, forces himself on a window and spits on himself.
  • Two men fire guns at a subway, a man is chased and the gunman shoots him in the arm (he yelps and we see a tiny flesh wound on his shoulder).
  • A man has a lawn dart thrown on his back sending a woman to fall into the water hitting her head on a rock unconscious (blood spurts on his back)

Profanity

  • 60 uses of the "f' word (38 used with "mother," 1 used sexually, 1 in subtitles)
  • "motherfucker" is said constantly
  • I counted: 4 Goddamn, including once written in subtitles (a translation of another language); 1 Goddamnit; 1 J*s*s h**v*n ; 1 Jeez ; 2 Oh my God ; 1 God; 1 Swear to God; 1 Hell
  • 1 use of n*gg*r by a dwarf black character
  • M-f-er/m-f-ing is only used by the main character's 3 (grown, late teenage years) boys, who are minor characters. When they rarely appear, they do use it very frequently, in more than half of their sentences. Seems like a bit of a gag to me
  • Derogatory sexual terms : p*ssyfart, cheeset*ts, candypants.
  • A little girl, who's jump roping in the street, disregards Charlie's advice for her to get out of the street, and tells him to "Fuck off!". Charlie tells him that her daddy say he's a joke, and then uses strong profanity at him.
  • The movie makes potentially offensive jokes about mental disorders (schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder), little people, obesity, yeast infections, injured animals, black people, and albinos.
  • It sounded like one song contained 3 uses of the "f" word (used with "mother"), while another contained at least 1 use of the "s" word.
  • 5 slang terms for/using male genitals ("c*ck," "d*ck," "willie" and "weasel"), 4 slang terms for/using female genitals ("p*ssy"), 2 slang terms for breasts ("t*t")
  • 26 asses (6 used with "hole")

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Irene and Charlie/Hank have rum and Cokes (which may have led to them sleeping together) and the next day a comment about a hangover is made.
  • Hank buys supplies for him and Irene and we later see that this includes a bottle of booze.
  • Some ballplayers drink beer in a parking lot.
  • Two FBI agents have drinks.
  • People have beer at a backyard picnic.
  • A couple have beer while on a picnic.
  • Occasional smoking and drinking.
  • Some government agents comment on the pot Irene smoked. She asks if that's some sort of crime and one responds that it is.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene where a man sucks a woman's breast may frighten and horrify some viewers.
  • Some people get injuries with blood shown.
  • One of the frightening factors of the movie is the blood as it were done moderately, There are three scenes with blood in them, one scene is when a man gets shot in the arm, and the thumb, another scene is where a man is shot in the chest, another is shot in the back with a lawn dart and for a split second we could see the dart punctured in his back (blood is shown spurting for a split second if you put it in slow motion).
  • For ones with Aracnophobia, around an hour into the movie there is a moderately sized spider that is seen crawling on the chest of one of the main characters.
  • The premise of a man having a split personality to do violent things is disturbing.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • Hank gets on a grocery store PA system and repeatedly asks for a price check on a feminine hygiene product for a yeast infection called "Vagi-clean". He also asks her what the problem is and if she has "some cheese on the taco" and that she's making a loaf of bread and he thinks that it's sourdough.
  • References to sex in speech include, amongst a few others: (about a dildo) was gonna lube it up and ram it in there, inch by inch, like a gentleman; Do you swallow? (woman protests) Ok, I'll take it slow; you couldn't hit the G-spot on a 12-pound p*ssy; you can't keep your legs closed; turn around I'll play the back nine.
  • As Charlie sadly reminds Layla (as she's leaving him for a limo driver) that she said she'd eat whale blubber for him, the limo driver states, "She'll be eat blubber, alright, just as soon as I free Willy" (a penis reference). He and Layla then exaggeratedly French kiss.
  • Hank tells Irene that he hopes they'll get to know each other better and then asks if she swallows (presumably related to oral sex). She then slaps him.
  • After talking about the fun Irene had the night before with Hank, Charlie complains that all he has is a swollen prostate after the above.
  • Referring to the dildo once more, Charlie complains that Irene stuck it up his "ass," but she replies that he did it himself. He then replies that she's the one who can't keep her legs closed.
  • A friend of Charlie's tries to open his eyes about Charlie's three young sons obviously not being his in a biological sense (since they're black and he and his wife are white) and then makes some disparaging/racist remarks about them (saying they have a year-round tan, that water beads off their hair, and that their "d*cks are bigger than those sausages" causing another man to hear this and loses his appetite by looking at both Charlie's barbecued sausages and then at his kids.

Profanity

  • 'Will you marry me, bitch?' on a big banner as a proposal
  • Milky & giant cue tip used to insult an albino character
  • A small, sweet young blonde girl, skipping on road, drops an F-bomb on an adult man. Very unexpected, shocking - for effect. Is highly relevant to storyline/understanding characters
