What Parents Need to Know
About Waiting
Parents need to know that this film is full of teenage sex, gay jokes, and references to male anatomy. The main characters play a game where they expose themselves to one another and call each other gay for looking. A teenage girl is manipulated into sex with a much older man. Two busboys spend the movie getting high. The main characters also act antisocially toward their customers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what they would do in Dean's situation. Would you stay with your friends or start a new job? Also, what attracts teens to these kinds of gross-out sex comedies? Is the raunchy humor necessary?

Read between the lines
Waiting is made to stimulate the minds of teens who enjoyed American Pie, Knocked Up, etc., but I find something beyond the dick-and-fart joke humor. Our main protagonist, Dean, finds himself stuck between assuming the assistant manager position in the restaurant at which he's been employed for several years or actually going somewhere with his life. Along the way, there is some strong sexual dialogue (a guy in his late twenties has a thing for high school girls and hits on the 17-year-old hostess, the men play a game that involves flashing their packages which are not visible to the audience but once, a short comedic sex scene), playful violence (the looker in the game receives kicks in the rear), cursing (over 130 F words, the C words for male and female genitals, several uses of a derogatory word for homosexuals), substance abuse (two wigger busboys are perpetually high, young adults drink, a quartet of teen girls smoke and so do a few protagonists) and some bad attitudes (cooks mess with the food when you complain). Overall, it's a sweet story for older teens with a coating of crude humor you dig through.
