That's right - I'd forgotten about Anne Hathaway. My 4 year old would lose her mind if she happened to glimpse "Ella Enchanted" w/ her shirt off in the back seat of a car. Do Heath and Michelle have scenes too? I think they did.
I confess I haven't read the story - but I think it was a short story.
I am much less in favor of censoring reading, but I would still be concerned about sex scenes in books. We read Philip Roth senior year, and most of the boys could hardly take it. I can't remember the book - it wasn't Tropic of Cancer, but there was a brief scene in the book.
When I was 10-years-old, I found JAWS and read it from cover to cover. The opening scene is a sex scene on the beach before the shark's first unfortunate victim enters the ocean.
When my Mom found out I had read it, she was really ticked off because she didn't want me reading about sex stuff. In my mouthy way, I said to her "If I can read it, I should be able to read it." Neither of my parents were ever able to keep up with all the inappropriate reading material I brought into my life. And I'm glad for it!
