Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this film is too bawdy for children under 17 as it has explicit female nudity, coarse language, and visualizations/discussions of hard-core drugs (including PCP, cocaine, Quaaludes). Besides profanity, there are racist remarks. The mature content depicts stereotypes of social classes and different races. Avarice drives many of the characters, yet the film does a good job showing the ill effects of greed.

Sexual Content

Several scenes of topless women; one of the main characters is a prostitute.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Packed with profanity.

Social Behavior

Showing no remorse for their actions, two characters drastically alter the lives of two complete strangers for their own personal amusement. Many characters are greedy and selfish and indulge in drugs and alcohol. The film also elevates prostitution as an acceptable means of earning a living.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

References and visualizations of several drugs; binge drinking.
