Sex & Nudity

  • John Travolta's character(Jack) is a womanizer and we see a woman(not his wife) leaving his hotel bedroom implying they had sex.
  • A man and a woman in bed together after having sex (no nudity).
  • Lots of sexual discussion(including uses of the word "horny") much of it related to Jack's womanizing but there is also conversation about a heterosexual man who had sex with his gay drug dealer while in the throws of his addiction.
  • Billy Bob Thornton pulls out his penis in the office(we don't see it but his co-workers do and he is rebuked for his actions).
  • Two women kiss quickly.

Violence & Gore

  • Jack's wife throws keys at him hitting him in the back of the head(played for laughs).
  • Kathy Bates holds a pistol to a man's crotch and threatens to pull the trigger(played for laughs but we half believe that she is capable of doing it).
  • We briefly see the body of a woman who shot herself.

Profanity

  • Liberal usage of R-rated profanity throughout the film including but not limited to fuck(several sexual uses), shit, ass, asshole, damn, hell, cunt, goddamn, son of a bitch. Also terms for male genitals(including pecker, python, mustang).

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A politician's past cocaine use is discussed in detail and at length.
  • Social drinking some of which leads to drunkenness.
  • Maybe a little smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A character commits suicide off screen which could be upsetting.
