What Parents Need to Know
About School for Scoundrels
Parents need to know that this movie isn't suitable for kids -- plus, it's just not a very good movie. It's got everything going against it -- foul language, poor behavior, crude humor, and slapstick violence that's so not-funny that it really isn't funny. Save your hard-earned dollars for something better. That said, because Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) stars, kids will be begging to see it. So please take some time to talk about the movie with your kids so you can add your two cents.

Four F Bombs In First 15 Minutes
I saw this in the theater and thought it was really funny even though it was on the very edge of being too crude... when i rented it on DVD, i didn't realize it was "Unrated" and was surprised to hear at least 4 F bombs in the first 15 minutes, as well as multiple GDs, SH's, and other colorful words. I don't know about the rest of the movie because i turned it off. Disappointed to find there is no PG-13 version on DVD. What a bunch of losers.

Turned it off
I made a deal with my 14 year old that he could rent it BUT if his dad and I thought it was innapropriate, we would turn it off. We got 5 minutes into the movie and shut it off after they kept saying "t--s" over and over and over. NOT A MOVIE FOR KIDS UNDER 17

The Unrated Version (DVD) Is A little much
The unrated version that is out on DVD has a lot of bad language and would be rated R in my opinion. I was not expecting that. Not appropriate for children.

lousy movie, not for kids, teens and up.
Parents need to know that this movie is not for kids. 14 and up definitley. plus it's not very good. they cold have done a much better job withh it over all. they plot was lame, the lines were lame with a lot of profanity. there is a paint ball gun turmiment, doctor P trashes Amanda's apartment, and frams Rodger for. he writs "Suck me" on her dog, and wirtes a fake letter to Rodger's boss saying that Rodger loves him. rodger steals lobsters from the restrunt a sets thhem free. the swearing is very strong. strickley for teens 14 and up if your kids want a good John hedder movie, take them to see the benchwarmers.
