Consumer Advice: Contains strong language, sex and sex references

Extended Classification Information (*SPOILER ALERT* Information may include plot details) SEX AND THE CITY is a romantic comedy based on the well-known and long-standing television series of the same name. The film follows the romantic exploits and shopping forays of Carrie Bradshaw, a New York City based writer, and her three friends – Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. It was passed ‘15’ for strong language, sex and sex references. The BBFC Guidelines at ‘15’ permit frequent use of strong language (e.g. ‘fuck’). That particular term is used about half a dozen times in the film, with a couple of additional variations. The BBFC Guidelines at ‘15’ also state that sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail and that there may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour. The film contains four significant sex scenes; all are quite short and one involves three people. Although we see vigorous thrusting and some breast nudity, the sequences are sufficiently brief and lacking in detail to be allowed at ‘15’ in this case. In one scene that doesn't involve any sexual activity there is a brief sight of a flaccid penis. The numerous strong verbal sex references in the film fall fairly and squarely within ‘15’ classification category parameters.
