They live among zillions of cockroaches, puff marijuana to forget and sometimes get pounded by guards. The film also contains implied sexual liaisons, strong language, brief nonsexual nudity and drinking. Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale play best friends just out of high school, vacationing in Bangkok. Then a handsome Australian seduces and talks them into a trip to Hong Kong. The teen protagonists smoke pot, drink and swear like longshoremen.
Sexual situations are mild, but the sexual slang is graphic.
The rating also covers toilet humor, head-banging fights played for laughs, a vile vomiting scene, brief female toplessness and an implied tryst between a girl and boy in a church confessional. Many older high school kids will like the movie's attitude, humor and nonstop rock soundtrack.
