  • Squeeze, The -- Struggling set designer and compulsive gambler (Michael Keaton) teams up with a process server (Rae Dawn Chong) to confound and foil a scam defrauding the New York lottery with a magnetic box he finds and then loses to corporate thugs. Mild-mannered comedy directed by Roger Young has little else save Keaton's charm which lessens the casual acceptance of his dangerously amoral behavior. Comic seduction scene and some violence are adult fare. (A-III) (PG-13) ( 1987 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
