Parents need to know
Families can talk about whether this is a realistic portrayal of teen life and high school. Do many movies "get" what it's like to be a teenager? Which ones do, and which don't? What do you think about how the adults, especially Berke's parents, behave? Are they good role models?
Message
Social Behavior:
An attractive blonde female character is portrayed as the quintessential "dumb blonde". Lots of gross-out, sex-related, and bathroom humor.
Consumerism:
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Lots of teen drinking (some resulting in vomiting), and a teacher drinks from a flask. Some smoking.
Violence
Mostly slapstick violence--Berke drunkenly falls off a roof and is hit by a basketball, and a rigged explosion launches Striker into the orchestra pit. Berke and Striker fight. Felix punches Berke for kissing his sister. An accident-prone girl causes a se

Is it any good?
The school's drama teacher is equally irresponsible, but laughing at teachers is somewhat of a time-honored institution in teen movies. Martin Short is hilarious as the flamboyant, self-important school musical director. (Parents should note, however that he bullies students and drinks from a flask).
