► A boy and a girl walk hand-in-hand. A young boy and a young girl hold hands.
► A girl lovingly smells a boy's hair while a voice-over explains that she is anticipating her first kiss from the boy.
► A teenage girl teases a boy, asking him if he is reading "Dad's Playboy," and says to "Give the centerfold his best." Young children taunt a boy, singing that he and a girl are "K-I-SS-I-NG."► The bare chest and back of a boy is visible momentarily as he pulls on a shirt.

► An elderly man shouts at a man. A man shouts at a teenage girl. A man shouts at a woman in front of a girl and two teenage boys at a dinner table, and slams his fists on the table. Two boys shout at one another, and one boy shoves the other.
► We see a snake eat an egg: it unhinges its jaw and swallows the egg whole; the crunch of the shell breaking is heard and the snake regurgitates the shell.
► A mentally challenged man shouts as he crawls on the floor, knocking over a table and scaring people sitting nearby, until another man is able to hold him still and calm him down. Two boys throw rocks at a chicken coop.
► A man holding a chainsaw tells a girl sitting in a tree that he will cut down the tree with her sitting in it. A girl tells another girl that someone had smashed a woman's record collection in anger. A man remarks that he does not want to crack open an egg and have a "dead chicken" fall out of it. A man tells a boy that the boy had been born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, but a doctor was able to help him, unlike a man who is mentally challenged from oxygen depravation during childbirth. A boy jokingly tells a girl he cannot climb a tree because he has a sprained "something" and a rash.

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.
