Probably not for younger teens/tweens, but okay for older ones
I was 17 when this first came out, so that should tell you a little something about how old I am now. It's a really, really good movie with "real" people and heartwarming scenes mixed in with raunchy humor. It really is the tamest of Apatow's movies. I must admit, when I saw it in theatres, I was a little shocked by it. Kids and parents should be prepared for this. But it's nothing kids aren't going to hear at school so, as long as both kids and parents have a mutual understanding, everything should be okay. I watched this later with my mom and she enjoyed it. Granted, it was a little awkward, but I think if kids and parents are open with and trust each other it makes for a more positive experience.

Not for any kids that you have control over what they watch. Older kids will find it funny but sends inappropriate messages about relationships, sex, and drug use. If you are old enough to know better...it is a riot!

Favorite Comedy Movie
I don't no why but this is my favorite comedy movie of all time apart from maybe the Hangover. Even though this movie is not Insanely laugh out loud funny i just really like it for some reason. But don't get me wrong there are some really funny parts in it just not as mony as movies like knocked up and pineapple express.

appauled!!!
I took my 14 and 15yr old neices because they wanted to see a comedy that needed an adult and they as well as I were traumatized by the the full ftontal shots of, not one, but 5 penis shots. After that the whole movie was shot. We got up and left the theatre. It was discusting!! If you want to make a comedy,make a comedy not a soft porn. Those types of movies fall under a different rating! It's called "X, or XX".

a great comedy for a sad generation
first off it was hilarious, every time a different movie attepmted to do a berak up comedy it ended up being a movie nobody remebers, this one however is a very funny movie like the comericials in most movies it gives away every funny part this one on the other hand was full of funny times.

Dumber Than Dumb
Unbelievably overrated. If I wanted to see long boring scenes of simulated sex I could get much better ones from the Internet. I wouldn't have minded seeing the breasts of the two female leads, but all the director seemed to enjoy showing was the male lead's limp penis. The jokes were dumb, obvious and infrequent. All in all, a waste of money.

great movie
This is a great movie! Definitely recommend it! They show a man's penis 3-4 times in the whole movie and there are pictures of women's chests in a men's restroom. And they only the man's penis for a split second when they do. And yes there is a lot of cussing. But everyone is going to be exposed to that sooner or later. Hardly and violence at all! Over all it's a great movie.

Ah, how clever. Another movie dedicated to the F-bomb.
Aside from the few laughs, this movie had no redeeming qualities. I should have read the reviews - I would not have paid to see a movie written expressly to use the word f**k and to fit in as many frontal male nudity shots as allowed. Pushing the limits is one thing, but if you're going to do it, at least be creative. Bottom Line: Boring, base and traumatizing. Give me back my money and my 2 hours.

Good
This movie is good. It has likable characters and a funny plotline. Not to bad in terms of sex. Except for the sex battle at the end were two couples see who can have the loudest sex.
