Sex & Nudity

  • Near the end while a man and woman talk in the park, the woman's nipples can be seen through her sweater.
  • There are several instances of primarily upper body female nudity in keeping with the central character's fixation on women's bodies. The sex scenes aren't too explicit.
  • A shirtless Joel masturbates in his bed (under the sheets) and we see his sexual fantasy of having sex with a girl (no nudity in both scenes).
  • Tom Cruise dances in his living room in his underwear and shirt. Not really inappropriate. This is also the most famous scene throughout the movie.
  • Joel finds a girl in the shower in the beginning of the film. Through the heavy steam, her breasts and some of her buttocks shown.
  • A man removes a woman's dress (revealing her body) and kisses her. She turns around and reveals her breast and, briefly, her pubic hair. The two are then seen briefly having sex from behind with some visible thrusting. The scene ends with her on top of him, thrusting on a rocking chair (shown from behind). Genital nudity is not seen.
  • A man takes off a woman's underwear in a close up (no nudity). The scene is done clothed and in a shot showing them from the shoulders up. In slow motion, there is some thrusting.
  • In one scene, there is loud moaning from a couple having sex offscreen.
  • There are no sex scenes with prostitutes and their clients.

Violence & Gore

  • Guido pulls a gun and threatens Joel and Lana in one scene but that is about it.

Profanity

  • Occasional strong language. 16 uses of "fuck".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Lana smokes cigarettes, and pot with Barry. Joel and Miles smoke cigarettes.
  • Lots of smoking and drinking at Lana's party.
  • Joel and his friend Barry get high in one scene. Barry is shown smoking a joint.
  • Joel and his friends heavily smoke cigars while playing Poker.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A man threatens people in a car and a short, low-speed car chase ensues.
  • Nearly the entire movie is mildly stressful due to the situations that the main character finds himself in. Nothing too intense, however.
