SEX/NUDITY 6 - A man and a woman kiss (he is holding a bottle of alcohol and they appear inebriated), he takes off his shirt (we see his bare chest and side), they continue to kiss (sex is implied) and we then see them lying in a bed together where they talk and she mentions her boyfriend. A woman wearing a tank top and shorts that reveal cleavage and bare legs to the thighs joins a man in bed and we hear rhythmic moaning and banging through the hotel room wall. A man and a woman look at each other across a crowded bar and we see them kissing and entering his hotel room; he removes his shirt (we see his bare chest and abdomen and she is shown wearing a bra that reveals cleavage, bare abdomen and back), she pushes him onto the bed and they moan and pound on the wall loudly (sex is implied); they wake up the next morning and we see her dressed and putting on her shoes to leave.
► A teen girl in a hotel room with a man removes her top to show her bra, cleavage and bare abdomen; she then removes the man's shirt and they kiss (we see his bare chest and abdomen) as she removes her bra and her bare breast is seen and he then covers her with a sheet and holds her close.

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.
