Someone here has seen it, right? Boy Opera has been invited to go see it next weekend with a friend, and Mr. Opera and I are unsure with it being a PG-13 rating. Our main concern is sexual content. From what we've seen on the previews, Daisy's character involves a lot of sexual comments/innuendo/jokes, etc. Are there sexual situations? We were unsure if the preview was showing the "worst" of the sexual jokes or if there are more. If someone could help us out I'd really appreciate it. I figure we probably don't need to worry about the violence level given the film. Thanks!!
quote:Parents should know that the movie is raunchy for a PG-13 with sexual humor (including a joke about beastiality and some homophobic humor) and sexual references and situations (all the girls in the movie are scantily clad and find the Duke brothers irresistible). There is brief nudity (mooning) and suggested nudity. Characters drink (scene in a bar) and there is as much drug humor as the MPAA will permit in a PG-13 film. There is some strong and crude language. A character pretends to be religious. While the film attempts to address the insensitivity of the original General Lee's having a Confederate flag on its roof, it typically tries to have it both ways -- they keep it there but it provokes some angry responses from both white and black characters. Similarly, the film tries to make bombshell Daisy Duke a bit more up-to-date but, as she says about the role she plays in Hazzard, "Those two are going to get in trouble and land in jail and I am going to have to shake my ass at somebody to get them out." And the movie has constant "action-style" violence, meaning situations that would normally be lethal (cars crash and burst into flames) but in Hazzard County are just for grins.

I know Boy Opera will be disappointed; maybe they'll be able to make other plans.
