Too slow for young viewers. Even with English dialogue, Lasse Hallstrom's film has the earmarks of a foreign film, and not many youngsters are interested in those yet. Juliette Binoche plays a stranger opening a candy shop in a French village. Her treats tempt the citizens during Lent, so religion is a key theme. No nudity, but the candy inspires some sensual feelings.
Violence includes a scene of domestic abuse.
Kids shouldn't try this movie at home soon or theaters now. Mel Gibson stars as a man given the power to read the minds of women, and most of their thoughts are about sex. Others include discussions of orgasms, penis envy and Nick's childhood among Las Vegas showgirls. No violence, which may be a first for a Gibson flick. No nudity and only a smattering of profanity.
