Yes, God, Yes SEX/NUDITY 7
– A teen boy and a teen girl kiss behind a tree and the girl moves down to the boy’s waist and we see her head moving rhythmically as another teen girl watches them and rubs a mop handle between her legs (a woman enters the room and the girl with the mop stops). A teen girl watches a man as he watches a pornographic video on his computer; we see a woman straddling a man on the hood of a car (her bare breasts, buttocks and abdomen are seen) and she thrusts and moans as a man kisses down her chest (oral sex is implied) and the man watching unfastens his belt (masturbation implied). A teen girl touches a teen boy’s arm and he pulls away; she kisses him and straddles his leg until he pulls away and we see through his pants that he has an erection as he runs away embarrassed. A teen girl opens an email that contains a picture of a man and a woman having sex (the woman’s bare breasts and abdomen are seen, as well as the man’s bare back); the man is kissing the woman’s chest and abdomen and in another photo is reaching into her underwear. A person in a chat room asks if a teen girl wants to “cyber,” and the person describes what they are doing to the teen and then asks what she is doing to them; the person asks if the teen is touching herself, she reaches into her skirt and is interrupted by her mother calling her to dinner. A teen girl places her vibrating cellphone between her legs and breathes heavily as she looks at Jesus on a crucifix hanging on the wall. A teen girl reaches into her skirt and moans briefly; she picks up a massager, turns it on and we see her close her eyes and smile.

Teen boys and teen girls hug in a couple of scenes. A teen boy with his arm around the back of a teen girl slips his hand down to her waist while they sing in a group. A teen girl imagines touching the hair on the arm of a teen boy. A teen girl trips while walking through the woods and a teen boy catches her. A teen girl cries and a teen boy hugs her to console her.
► A man talks about his computer being used for a char of an explicit nature and asks who is responsible. A teen boy asks a teen girl what she had for lunch and makes a remark about her having a “Wade salad,” and she becomes upset as he and another by laugh at her. People talk in several scenes about a rumor about a teen boy and a teen girl, and what they did together in a sauna at a party. A teen girl tells another teen girl that she saw a teen girl performing oral sex on a teen boy. Two teen girls talk about another teen girl not kissing her boyfriend because she’s afraid that it will lead to sex. A teen girl tells a priest that she saw a video of a sex act and he understands that she knows he was watching it.
► A man instructs students about sexuality in a classroom and talks about the differences in male and female sexuality. A man tells students, “God created sex with boundaries and with a purpose.” A poster on a wall in a high school reads, “Sexual Abstinence.” A student asks, “Is sex with yourself against God’s plan?” A remark is made about “spilling your seed.” Two teen girls talk about a video of a “partial birth abortion” shown in a class. A teen girl complains about having to carry around a doll in a carrier to drive home what it would be like to get pregnant and have a child. Two teen girls talk about a kissing scene and a sex scene in a movie. A woman tells a teen girl, “Your body is gift from God.” A teen girl talks about a teen boy’s sexuality. A chatroom conversation opens with, “I need a chick with piercings.”
► A painting depicting “Adam and Eve” shows them both fully nude with leaves covering their genitals (we see her bare breasts, abdomen and legs to the thighs and his bare chest, abdomen and legs to the thighs). Teen girls wear short skirts that reveal their lower thighs and knees.
Yes, God, Yes VIOLENCE/GORE 2
– A teen girl scratches her knee when she falls in the woods and we see a bloody spot and a tear in her pants. A woman confronts several students for infractions against school code (their attire and chewing gum). A man knocks his drink over and it spills on a woman at the table; she becomes upset. We see a screensaver on a computer screen of Jesus’ crucifixion.
► A teenage girl talks about her grandmother dying and that the woman’s dog was left behind and that it looked so sad. A teen girl talks about her dog dying by ingesting chipmunk poison. A teenage boy talks about his girlfriend breaking up with him. Two teen girls talk about a video of a “partial birth abortion” shown in a class. A woman talks to a teen girl and says, “I used to be Catholic” and they each describe the things that they have done that they thought would mean that they were going to Hell. A teen girl describes being in a car accident with her older sister and that she was jealous of her being the family favorite. A teen girl tells another teen that she needs to turn in her watch and cellphone when she arrives at camp (the second teen keeps her phone and tells the other teen that she doesn’t have one).
► A teen girl discovers that another teen brought a phone with her to camp and she is punished by having to empty garbage and mop floors in the cafeteria.
► A teen girl licks a pudding container top in a school cafeteria and boys laugh at her; we see her later with pudding in her teeth and on her cheek.

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.
