Bridget Jones's Diary: parents' guide

A clumsy fistfight between two men, with punches, kicks and a crash through a plate-glass window, draws blood but is played for laughs. A movie clip on TV shows a woman being shot dead.

Strong and frequent: one count found more than 30 f-words, six s-words and about a dozen milder curses, plus British slang like 'bloody,' 'wanker' and 'shag.'

Sex drives the plot: kissing, a brief sex scene, Bridget and Daniel in bed several times, and lots of underwear. There is brief male nudity, a nude woman covers herself with a book, Daniel squeezes Bridget's bottom uninvited, and oral and anal sex are mentioned.

Bridget and her friends drink and smoke constantly. She drinks alone until she passes out, gets drunk and falls out of a taxi, and downs shots in a row. No drugs.

Nothing scary. The hardest moments are public humiliations and a romantic betrayal, all handled with humor.
