Such a funny movie, I think it's fine to watch it with younger teens but as long as there's a parent there supervising to skip the sexual parts lol. Then again it's more relateable to high school kids, so who knows if the younger kids can even relate & actually enjoy it. *shrugs shoulders.

What Parents Need to Know
About Orange County
Parents need to know that despite the PG-13 rating there is a lot of material that they may consider inappropriate for teenagers. Abuse of alcohol and drugs is portrayed as normal and funny. While on drugs, a character drives dangerously, has casual sex, and sets a building on fire, also intended to be comic. Another character is accidentally given drugs, which is supposed to be funny. A character pretends to be asleep so that he can watch a couple have sex. Some kids may also find the horrendous parenting or the fact that the dysfunctional parents decide to reunite -- upsetting. One of the "good guys" blackmails a friend by threatening to expose her sluttish behavior.

Hmm...I really disagree with CSM's review on this one. I thought it was funny, had likeable characters, and surprisingly smart for a teen movie. Also, they really overreacted with the content--Orange County does sometimes push the PG-13 rating to the limit, but it's perfectly fine for teenagers.
