[1:45]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A woman kisses a squirrel. Some flirtation. A woman opens her coat and reveals she's wearing tight shorts and a bikini top. A man and woman are in a tub together and we see their bare shoulders.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Nearly all played for laughs, most of it involving animated characters. A woman and a squirrel are electrocuted in an electric chair and turned into vegetables, a cartoon character is zapped by a bolt of electricity and then vanishes, an animal is squashed by a tree, a moose throws one man through a wall and another man through a window, a truck runs into a moose and a squirrel (neither is hurt), a bus flattens a moose and a squirrel (both survive, unscathed), a moose and a squirrel are blown away by a tornado-like light beam, a squirrel jumps off a tower and falls on the ground (it's shaken but not hurt), a car runs into a wall and lodges a moose into the wall, a moose is hit by what appears to be a flying playing card, a moose is fed through a fax machine (and subsequently flattened), and a moose hits its antlers on a door frame. A woman elbows a man in the chest and knocks him down, a woman throws a pan at a man (we hear him say "ouch" but we don't see the pan actually hit him), a man falls off a water tower onto a group of people and then a laptop computer falls on his head, a man and woman fall from the air and land on a man, a woman falls from an airplane but is saved before hitting the ground, a woman jumps out of a moving car, a few men are crushed by a falling wall, and film reels fall on people. A car runs into a wall and explodes upon collision, a car runs off a cliff and explodes, several sticks of dynamite explode and almost blow up a car, a truck wrecks and rolls over on two wheels, a helicopter hits a car and rips off its windshield, an airplane flies through a billboard, another airplane crashes into the ground, and a steel safe drops from the sky and almost hits a moving car. We see a knife scar on a man's cheek throughout the movie.
LANGUAGE 2 - A few anatomical references and mild obscenities, some insults.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Nature conservation, malapropisms, television, James Bond and other movie parodies, capital punishment.
MESSAGE - A flying squirrel and a knuckleheaded moose can help save the world.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
