Will Ferrell stars as a painfully organized and lonely IRS auditor whose life changes one day when he begins to hear a woman's voice narrating his every move and every thought. He soon realizes that the voice belongs to an author and his life mirrors that of a character in her latest book. When he realizes that she plans to kill the character off, he becomes desperate to find her and convince her to spare him. Also with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Queen Latifah, Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman. Directed by Marc Forster. [1:53]

SEX/NUDITY 4 - A man and a woman kiss passionately, she climbs on his lap, they pull each other's clothes off (we see her bare shoulders and back), and they wake up in bed together (he lies bare-chested and we see her bare back and shoulders); it is implied that they have had sex.
► A woman wears a tight-fitting tank top that makes obvious the outline of her breasts, and a woman wears a low-cut top that reveals cleavage in several scenes. We see the bare buttocks and backs of several men in a locker room scene.

► There is a joke about a guitar with two necks that is a symbol that the owner is "compensating for something."

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man is struck by a bus, thrown back and lands hard on the street (we see blood pool under his head, and we see his twisted hand and arm, and his legs bent to the side).
► A man with bloody wounds is wheeled into a hospital on a stretcher and we hear that he was shot.
► A woman talks about what it might be like to jump off a building (we see imagining letting go and falling) and she describes the pool of blood and twisted limbs of someone who actually had jumped.

► A large wrecking claw tears through the wall of a man's apartment while he sits on the couch watching TV (he is not injured). A man kicks a lamp shattering the bulb, pulls clothes out of his closet and yells in anger and frustration.
► We see a nature program where a bird with a broken wing is attacked by many crabs, a zebra is attacked by a crocodile, and a cobra eats a mouse (we hear the mouse squeal).
► People yell at and jeer at a man (he is an IRS tax auditor) and one waves a bread knife in his direction. A man tells another man that a woman "kills people" (she's an author and she "kills" her main characters). A woman imagines assorted ways of dying and killing off a character in her book.
► A man urinates in a plastic container while sitting on his couch and we see the liquid in the container later on. A man urinates in a urinal (we hear the trickle), while talking to a man who's in the bathroom with him. A man in a movie vomits profusely into a bucket after eating a large meal (it's a scene from Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life"). We see a pay phone covered with mucus.
