Sex & Nudity

Strong sex references and some nudity; includes depicted sex between characters; mostly under the covers, but the positions are somewhat graphically depicted.

A vagina is briefly shown during a woman giving birth.

Many scenes of nudity, one where the main character's friends are getting lap dances by two topless women for the rest of scene. Another where an earthquake just happened and everyone in the house runs out, when everyone is out a guy is shown in boxers standing behind a women who is in only underwear and she is covering her naked breasts, when he introduces her to his friend she takes her hand off her breast and it is shown.

The main character and his friends are making a website that tells you when a nude scene is happening in a movie, and it also tells you what it shows. So during the movie you'll see them watching many movies with nudity, obviously they will show women topless.

A little girl in the movie, who looks to be about nine or ten years old, gives a graphic description of where she thinks babies come from, while everyone is eating breakfast at the table. Later in the movie, the same child says "penis" after hearing a main character say it.

Violence & Gore

We see a baby crowning and the vagina opening four times and we see the baby being born covered with blood and goo. A husband and wife argue bitterly in several scenes and she tells him not to come home during one fight. A man and a woman argue bitterly and the woman makes the man get out of the car and leaves him in the street. A woman tells a man that she is pregnant, that the baby is his, and they argue blaming each other. A doctor reaches under a woman's hospital gown, between her legs, and twists an unborn baby while he talks about the umbilical cord being wrapped around its neck (the woman moans from the discomfort). A woman in labor yells and moans and begs for pain medication. Two little girls argue in the back seat of a car and one throws a doll at the other, striking her in the face and making her cry. A little girl strikes her father hard on the crotch in order to wake him up in the morning. A man has a panic attack in a hospital waiting room and yells about the likelihood of dead bodies being in a nearby room. There is a violent earthquake and people run out into a street. Two men rolling in wheelchairs run into each other and one falls over (they are not physically challenged). A man falls off a trampoline and onto the ground (he's OK). Several men play fight with toy swords, boxing gloves, etc. An 8-year-old girl talks about where she thinks babies come from and includes a gory description. An 8-year-old girls says that she "Googled murder" and that she saw many dead bodies with blood all around them. A women looks at a "sex offender map" on her computer and talks about how many sex offenders there are in her neighborhood. A man talks about having been run over by a postal truck when he was younger. A couple of people talk to a woman about "taking care of it," with regard to her pregnancy and alluding to abortion. A man says, "I'll bite your face off" to another man. A man threatens to kill another man over the telephone. A doctor yells at a woman who is his patient. A woman talks angrily about what happens to parts of a woman's body after childbirth. Two men ask a man if he is going to commit suicide. A man says that another man deserves a "beat down." Several men have Pink Eye and they talk about getting it from flatulating on each other's pillows. A man says if something happens then "slice my head off with an LP." Several men tease another man who is letting his beard grow, calling him crude anatomical names, and he seems upset. A woman is shown vomiting a few times (we see goo and hear her gagging). Several men are shown screaming and looking queasy while on amusement park rides. During a sonogram we see the beating heart of an 8-week baby.

Profanity

Around 120 uses of "F*ck", plus almost 65 of "Sh*t", and some slang for male and female genitalia. There is also one quiet use of "C*nt"

A man holds a bag of mushrooms, and he and another man talk about when they will eat them, and they act as if they are hallucinating after they do.

Several men smoke marijuana throughout the movie and appear to be in a stupor throughout -- they are shown smoking marijuana cigarettes, as well as from bongs and a man is shown smoking marijuana with his head inside a glass ball while the ball fills with smoke as he exhales.

A man's father talks about his drugs rule, which is that his son should not take pills or powders but that anything that grows in the ground should be OK.

People are shown drinking alcohol in a nightclub scene, people drink wine with dinner and one man drinks hard liquor, and several men are shown drinking beer throughout the movie.

A woman smokes a cigarette.

A man says he's "really high," and a man says, "Smoking weed can fix anything."

While trying to explain her drunken escapades to her 4-year-old niece, Allison likens it to the fact that she "drank too much chocolate milk".

an earthquake is rather sudden - the birth scene to those who probably have not been pregnant yet
