SEX/NUDITY 9 - A drunk man and a drunk woman kiss, they go back to her apartment, they begin disrobing (we see her in a bra and he is bare-chested), and they have sex: she asks him to put on a condom, he cannot get it on, and so they continue to have sex unprotected -- he thrusts on top of her and they moan, the scene ends and we see him lying nude in bed in the morning (his bare back and buttocks are visible).
► A man and a woman have sex: she is very pregnant and we see her in a bra and see her very pregnant belly, and the man thrusts on top of her but then becomes uncomfortable with the idea that he could be hurting the baby or that the baby could be getting poked in the face by his genitals, and the woman gets on top and she is then uncomfortable; the man asks if she wants to try another position and she is offended by the term, so they lie next to each other and the baby kicks the man's hand while it rests on the woman's abdomen and he becomes upset.

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.
