Dec 17,1993
nudity | There is some male/female romance, some kissing, and a brief scene depicting oral sex (a man is on the phone and a married woman kneels, lifts up his apron and it is implied that she attempts to perform oral sex on him). Nothing explicit is shown; his face is on screen and he is visibly struggling to speak on the phone. Scene is not very long as he stops her once he hangs up. |
violence | Gilbert violently slaps Arnie. Arnie playfully slaps Gilbert. Gilbert nearly rams over Ellen. (I think he just did that because she flipped him off). |
profanity | Couples of Damns, Hell, & Shit. 1 Asshole 2 uses of fuck (1 is barely audible) 1 use of middle finger |
alcohol | There is some beer-drinking on screen, and some smoking. There is a suggestion that a character uses food as a way of turning away from reality. |
frightening | Arnie taunts about his deceased father. The mother's morbid and debilitating obesity is a strong theme in the film. Some of the family conflict is intense and might be disturbing to some children. A man dies in an apparent suicide. An obese mother dies, Arnie tries to wake her up but then gets irritated. After that a team of men tries to carry her but then they need a crane, however they refused because they would draw a crowd so they decided to burn the house down. |
