  • There are many sexual references and double entendres. There is also talk of a premarital pregnancy.
  • A man calls another man's wife "angel boobs" and "monkey nipples" in one sequence. Two married people (not to each other) flirt and dance seductively. A man bitingly mocks another man's desire for his wife by suggesting that they play a game called "hump the hostess."
