Nudity
Mild

Contains moderate sexual references.

A woman masturbates under the covers while dreaming of a man in a jock strap making love to her (Shown from behind) played for comic effect.

Violence
Moderate

A teenage foot fetishist stomps on women's feet.

Profanity
Mild

The Nazi swastika appears on a poster on a wall.

Infrequent mild language, (e.g. "fat ass", "bastards"). A woman is called a "retard" (this is presented negatively).

Alcohol
Moderate

Francine is an alcoholic and is seen heavily drinking alcohol for much of the film.

Several instances of drug use throughout, most notably glue-sniffing and snorting cocaine.

In two scenes, a character can be seen with a joint (these scenes are undetailed). There are two additional instances where it is implied that characters have snorted drugs.

Frightening
Mild

Contains suicide, abortion, alcoholism and mental breakdown themes. Much of the film is satirically melodramatic and contains some concepts and themes that may be considered extreme by some viewers. For example, a pregnant teenager punches herself in order to cause a miscarriage. Some characters (unsuccessfully) attempt suicide.
