This version of “Cougar Club” is not rated, but the original version was rated R for pervasive crude and sexual content, nudity, language and brief drug use..
CS Comment:
This is kind of an oddball film. It’s a blatant skin flick (topless menus, anyone?), yet it features Carrie Fisher and Faye Dunaway. It’s certainly an odd combination.
