Message 3/5	Few things are unreachable if you believe in yourself, persevere, and work for what you want. Also, never underestimate the power of the human will.
Role model 3/5	Vinny is rough around the edges, but he loves his family, is loyal to his coach, and has a steely determination that won't let anything -- even a debilitating injury -- get in his way on the path to greatness. Rooney believes in him so much that it gives Vinny strength.
Violence 3/5	The fight scenes are pretty brutal, with boxers punching each other, taunting each other, and pushing each other to the limit, both physically and mentally. A tragic car accident is shown, including from the point of view of the car being hit, which makes it viscerally disturbing.
Sex 4/5	A couple is shown in bed, the woman's breasts bare. At a weigh-in, a boxer grabs his private parts, as a way to intimidate his opponent. Boxer shown in skimpy underwear. Several scenes take place in a strip club.
Language 4/5	Frequent use of strong language, including "f--k," "motherf-----r," "s--t," "d--k," "t-ts," "ass," "a--hole," "hell," "bitch," and "oh my god" as an exclamation.
Consumerism 3/5	Many labels/products seen, including Caesar's Palace, Coors, Newport cigarettes, Porsche, Coca-Cola, and more.
Drugs 2/5	Rooney is an alcoholic. Social drinking at family events.

Review Title

Rating*

Rating is just the typical 5 star rating you'd give the film like you'd see on any other review site.

Support*

Support is a boycott suggestion and is meant to be a way for us to consolidate our efforts in “voting with our dollars.” Obviously, Hollywood has proven that they will sacrifice profits for the sake of their agenda, but they’re not as monolithic as you’d think. And people still respond to incentives.

So the 3 options are:

Pay to watch:

This movie is worth your time, and you should support the creators financially so we get more content like it.

Watch it AND give them money.

Watch if free:

The show is entertaining, but you shouldn’t reward the creators for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't want to support preachy celebs who hate their fans. Or maybe you enjoy superhero movies and nostalgia bait, but don't want to encourage Hollywood to continue making them in such a high ratio.

That’s when you’d click the “Watch Now” button and choose from one of the “Free” links:

( Use at your own risk. ZeitgeistReviews does not endorse any of the links and we don’t condone piracy. And we definitely discourage you from using this Reddit thread that shows you all of the places to pirate movies & tv. )

Watch it BUT don’t give them money.

Skip it:

This means the movie wasn’t even worth your time. Maybe it's so full of Woke crap that you’ll want to pull your hair out half way through. Or it could simply just be a piece of s**t, and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Don’t watch it AND don’t give them money.

( Note: We have expanded our site from just TV & Movies. Now we have games and will add music/books/etc. So the wording might change but the sentiment is still the same for every "Support" section. )

Review text*

Note: Please wrap spoilers [spoiler] like this. [/spoiler]

Neo-Marxism

Neo-Marxism, (sometimes referred to as "Cultural Marxism"), rates the amount of fanatic egalitarianism in a film. Consider this mainly a rating for anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist themes.

Feminism

Strong and multidimensional female characters are fine. This is mainly referring to girlboss crap, unrealistic Mary Sue content, and/or egregious scenes of manhood being disparaged.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action rates how much "diversity" is being pushed. ( Not true diversity, but the anti-White checklist kind.)

Gay Stuff

Gay Stuff rates the amount of non-tradional sexuality depicted.

Fedora Tipping

Fedora Tipping rates the amount of atheism / Scientism™ in a film.
