SM, if you say that this movie is OFF for anyone under 18 then you are obviously ignorant of high school life. Do you even have a teenage child? This movie was a masterpiece dramedy. Yes, i will admit that there were some parts that may be inappropriate but I can almost 100% assure you that EVERY teenager hears and probably talks about these things every single day at school. I think anyone in high school could see this movie and should. It deals with some really important issues and it shows how people handle them..maybe not always in a good way..but they learn from their mistakes. I am 16 and I watched this movie with my mom. My mom is very iffy about watching movies and she hates the "f" word and drugs and there was not that much "f" word use in this movie anyway and the parts with drugs weren't presented as kids using them (at least the prescription drugs) to get high. The kids truly needed help and they were too scared to go to their judgmental parents to ask for it (which i'm sorry to say is a big problem today). If you are in high school, see this movie, it will make you think about your life in a positive way.

Not, not, not for anyone under 18...interesting and entertaining for adults. Acting was very good all around--Robery Downey Jr is certainly back--he's fantastic--all the younger actors were spot on. Storyline is both funny and serious. Solid but no award winning here. Violence, sex, drug use....again, this one is NOT FOR KIDS.

This is a great movie, but not for younger teens. It captures the teenage feeling and the moments. Downey is fantastic.
