Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie is based upon complex adult themes of sexuality and personal freedoms/lifestyles. Dr. Frank N. Furter is played up as an outlandish, sexually open character. There is a very suggestive scene of Frank N. Furter seducing the couple and another sex scene between Janet and the beefcake Rocky. While there is no direct nudity, the film is very provocative, right down to the song lyrics. Teenagers who possess a more mature grasp of sexuality and individuality might understand and enjoy the film. Due to its strong sexual nature, parents should be very cautious about allowing their children to view this film.

Sexual Content

Cross-dressing, brief nudity, seduction, tons of innuendo.

Violence

Non-realistic for the most part. All in a comedic tone.

Language

Mostly suggestive language, not explicit.

Social Behavior

Complex ideas about sexual identity and individual behavior. Underneath the provocative exterior, the movie has messages about being true to yourself and expressing yourself honestly.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Almost none, wine consumed only.
