Parents' Guide to Medicine Man

Parents need to know that Medicine Man is an adventure-drama with non-sexual nudity, occasional language, and sexist attitudes. Lorraine Bracco plays biochemist Rae Crane who journeys into the Amazon jungle to find out more about the work of her reclusive peer Robert Campbell (Sean Connery). Both Crane and Campbell are hard-headed and stubborn, but highly capable in their fields and somewhat capable of working together. However, Campbell displays sexist attitudes. They welcome collaboration with the native population and Campbell speaks their language. The main cast is White and American, but the ethnic supporting cast are shown in a positive light. The threat to their environment and well-being are both portrayed as negative. There is very little violence, but an altercation leads to some trauma and injury, and a fire that places people in peril. Nudity is more common, owing to the traditional dress of the native population. Crane also appears topless and is viewed from the rear in one scene. Her full nudity is implied but not shown. Language includes blaspheming and one use of "f--k." Crane becomes drunk after drinking a local beverage -- which she jokingly and drunkenly fantasizes about mass marketing -- and there is some smoking.
