"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Senseless | 1998 | R | - 5.3.5

Marlon Wayans and David Spade star in the story of a college student who will do anything to help his mother get money, including testing an experimental drug which heightens his senses.

SEX/NUDITY 5 - A man makes donations at a sperm bank for money. The covers of pornographic magazines are seen. Sexual innuendo and discussions of sex including bisexuality, masturbation, homosexuality and S&M. A woman girates her breasts as a man watches. A man and woman kiss and we hear the man climax. A man's bare buttocks are seen a few times. A woman opens her shirt and we see her bra and lots of cleavage. A woman puts her hand in a man's pants. A man is shown nude with a strategically placed garbage can lid covering his private parts.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man is hit in the head with a hockey stick, a man is hit repeatedly by hockey pucks and hockey players are slammed into walls and punches are thrown. A woman is hit in the head with a salt shaker. An earring is yanked from a man's pierced navel and a woman kicks a man in the crotch. A man is paddled. We see blood in a donation container. A woman flatulates and we see the results of a man having wet himself.

LANGUAGE 5 - One F-word derivative, many scatological terms, many anatomical references and some mild obscenities. There is also quite a bit of potty humor.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Drug testing, sperm banks, means vs. ends.

MESSAGE - Becoming a human guinea pig may have unpredictable consequences.

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.
