Why did it get this rating?
Sex
Contains a frank but undetailed sex scene, sexual references that occur occasionally, sexual jokes and anecdotes of the locker room variety.
Sexual Violence
Presented inexplicitly, but in a rather extended manner. The tone is vengeful.
Offensive language
Highly offensive language is often used aggressively, to undercut, hurt, and insult others.
