What Parents Need to Know
About Superbad
Parents need to know that this high school comedy has been marketed squarely at teens (the wide online circulation of an R-rated "red band" trailer helped a lot). Heralded as an instant-classic teen comedy on the level of Dazed and Confused or Fast Times at Ridgemont High, it seems destined to be a hit. But parents should know that, like many real teenagers, the characters are obsessed with losing their virginity and talking about sex. Sex and, to a lesser extent, booze fuel every conversation, with very graphic dialogue about genitalia, sex acts, and pornography. "F--k" (and many derivations thereof) is used almost nonstop, and there's also a lot of underage drinking and a scene of adults smoking marijuana and snorting cocaine. American Pie seems PG-rated by comparison.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what teens think of sex, how many of their friends they think are having sex, and what parents think of teens having sex. Do teens consider it a stigma to graduate from high school a virgin? This is a good opportunity for parents to answer teens' questions about sex, drinking, and the safe, responsible way to handle both. Parents may also want to put an over-the-top comedy like this in perspective. The movie's antics come at you fast and furiously, making some of the laughs mostly about the shock value. For example, do you think real cops would ever act like the two in the movie? What other movies and TV shows have a similar comedy style? Do you think there's danger here if a viewer doesn't understand the comedy on that level?

This movie has very positive messages about friendship and respecting women, and it's one of the funniest things I have seen in quite a while. But don't be fooled: This is an R-rated film, and was never intended for children. The swearing is very strong and near-constant (most of it is sexual), characters drink, smoke, and snort cocaine, and sex jokes are explicit and much more than frequent. (There are no actual sex scenes.) However, this is a great movie for ages 15 and up; it's a very entertaining way to learn some valuable lessons about friendship and respect.

Loved It! Very Funny Movie
- I rate this title iffy for age 12 and give it
appropriate for anyone in highschool
you can say this movie is bad and profane but the truth is, this movie is realistic. The movie was about a couple of 17 year old kids trying to get laid. Any guy knows that when he was 17, he was trying to get laid. This movie was about teens who swear every five minutes. I'm a sophmore and we swore that much in sixth grade and still do now. This movie was about kids drinking. Well we drink. So what. It's only "underage" if the law says it is. In some counties the drinking age is 14. Plus, when you were in highschool, atleast 80 percent of you had atleast one drink. Really, condemning teens not to watch this movie is an insult to you because you're naive enough to believe they either A: haven't seen it or B:Haven't seen it and don't do everything in it.

This is a Very Silly Movie!
This movie is hilarious for all ages! Even adults, the kids and I both love watching it all the time! it's defenently not SUPERbad, but does contain some sexual situations suchas, looking at pornography (breasts and nipples are visible in this part), oral sex, menstrulation on a leg, sex scenes, a PALOOZA! of detailed drawn penises, condoms and spermicidal lube! and a barrage of F-words! but other than that this film is hilarious!

This movie was superbad
My friends and I rented it, and we didn't even make it halfway through. It was slightly repulsing, and I didn't really find it that funny. A few chuckles, but that's it. Noo younger kids please! VERY inappropriate.

Hillarious film! Not appropriate for young kids, there's plenty of profanity, teen drinking and sexual content. Teenagers will love it though!

16+ minumum.
The movie is about teenagers buying alcohol to get laid. However, neither of them end up going through with it. One of them doesn't want to because he's drunk. The other doesn't get any because the girl he's trying to get with doesn't actually drink.

ALOT of language and sexual humor. The penis drawings scene is a little over the top. I loved it though cause it is so clever and hilarious.

Hilarious, but only for teenagers.
I watched this with my best friend and it was EXTREMELY funny. We were laughing throught out the whole movie, but it's NOT for younger kids. They said the F-word 233 times (we counted. haha we're nerds like Mclovin) and every single sentence was about sex. The whole movie is 2 guys trying to get alcohol for a party. But it's funny. If you think your kid can handle 233 F-words and constant talk of sex and some nudity and pictures of penises, let them watch it. It's only worth it if they're old enough to get the jokes though.
