Sex & Nudity

  • A married man is attracted to another woman (Later in the film we find out the woman he was attracted to is actually a man in disguise.) and in one scene he is discussing her with some other men and comparing her to a quality cheese while at the same time he is caressing the cheese. This scene is however in no way sexual.

Violence & Gore

  • Towards the ending, the villain is shown to be disproportionately swollen after entering a large wheel of cheese as a result of his allergy as said before, with his clothes torn off and some blood on his face. He eventually eats a piece of aged cheese, which causes him to explode into pieces.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
