The Green Hornet Review

Messages: Britt and Kato learn lessons about friendship, freedom of the press, the dangers of political corruption, and the need for newspapers to report the truth ethically.

Role models: The only clear role model in the movie is Lenore, who's smart and hardworking and doesn't predictably fall for either guy in the movie.

Violence: Although the violence is bloodless, there's a high body count, with the deaths occurring in various ways -- from (double-barrel) guns at close range to explosions to being buried, crushed, etc. Most of the violent scenes involve hand-to-hand fights, martial-arts, and some punching and kicking.

Sex: In the first few scenes of the movie, Britt is shown hanging out with many beautiful women, slapping their bottoms and dancing with them. Many women at his parties are dressed provocatively. Britt makes out with a woman in one scene and another in the next. He wakes up next to a woman he's obviously slept with but can't remember her name (she's dressed only in a bra). He tries to kiss his assistant, but she pushes him off of her.

Language: Lots of swearing, especially "s--t" and "ass," but also "p---y," "bitch," "d--k," "damn," "hell," "crap," "douche," "goddamn," and the like. One use of "f--k."

Consumerism: Tie-in to vast quantities of related merchandise. Red Bull, a Jaguar, and the cars that Britt has in his garage.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: Britt parties hard, and at the beginning of the film he's shown drinking with all his friends. Later he tries to mix a drink of vodka and Red Bull. References to crystal meth and a drug lab.
