Sex & Nudity
-
- A woman wears a cleavage exposing dress and short shorts; a man approaches her, grabs her behind and makes an implied sexual remark about being "hungry," and we see him kissing and hugging her.
- We see a couple dancing and the man's arms are around the woman's chest and he kisses her neck. A young man and a young woman kiss. A young man kisses a young woman. A man kisses a woman on the cheek. A young man places his hand on top of a young woman's hand.
- At a function, they zoom in on the woman in the pink dress. It's zoomed on her cleavage, she's very endowed and they bounce as she walks, causing most men to stare. It's hyper focused on them for several seconds. A scene later shows the same women, currently drunk, she then sneaks up to another woman at a table and surprise hugs her from behind while her cleavage squishes the back of her neck, a lady on the next seat gives them an odd look.
Violence & Gore
-
- A woman is seen with a bruise in a scene. It is revealed she has been hit by her husband.
Profanity
-
- Scatological terms, 2 anatomical terms, 2 sexual terms, 17 mild obscenities, 9 derogatory racial terms, name-calling (crazy, tacky, fools, lazy thing, greasy stinky men, stupid, disgusting, rude, jerk, drunken, thief, sweaty mess, mean old woman, white trash, selfish, sass mouth, raggedy, thievin', godless woman), exclamations (shoot, for crying out loud, oh gosh, shut up, dog gone it), 4 religious profanities, 13 religious exclamations.
- Seven uses of "shit", 2 uses of "goddamn", 1 use of "asshole" , and over 12 uses of "nigger".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Virtually everyone, Skeeter included, smokes. And in a self-conscious wink at people's attitudes toward smoking during that era, Skeeter's boss says, "I guarantee you one day they're going to figure out that cigarettes kill you."
- Social drinking is almost as frequent as the smoking. Many scenes show white people downing mixed drinks or martinis. One of Skeeter's dates is obviously drunk, and keeps ordering shots. Celia is drunk at a socialite event, and gets sick (off screen). Hilly drinks and drives in one scene.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Very dramatic movie, many heavy scenes
- A maid is about to get beaten by her husband when being on the phone with another maid.
