Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that 2 Fast 2 Furious is the 2003 sequel to The Fast and The Furious. Unsurprisingly, just as in the original movie, there are frequent illegal street car races, often resulting in accidents and reckless driving. There is frequent profanity, including "s--t" and "d--k." Though there are two strong female characters, women on the whole are little more than bikini-clad objects who exist to dance around the racing cars while the men slap their behinds or refer to them as little more than "potential." The two lead characters settle their grudges by getting into a fistfight. Lots of gun violence. In perhaps the most disturbing scene in the movie, a man is tied down with a rat placed on his chest. The rat is covered by a bucket, and a man threatens to heat up the bucket so the rat chews through the bucket and attacks his private parts. Overall, this movie is little more than an exercise in "car porn," with the story being little more than an excuse to get to the fast driving.

Frequent car races, chases, and crashes.
