I was disappointed by the movie. My daughter saw it with friends before I had a chance to review it, and told me how funny it was. I watched it with her and was really bummed at the messages. I felt it really cheapened intimacy and was really suggestive for a high school target audience. Lots of drinking and partying - no parental involvement at all. Basically teenagers living adult lives with pretty promiscuous adult behavior.
Saw this movie and really disliked it. Too much drinking, sexual situations that were too much for younger teens. More than that, the characters were annoying and it never made sense why they even liked each other. I wouldn't want my teenager to waste his time on this movie. I found very little positive in it.
We thought it would be a fun indy film-instead, it sends the message that a girl isn't cool unless she's had an orgasm and everyone is having orgasms. I was so sad that any teenage girl would see this and see that message. The lead girl only finds confidence in the fact that she finally has an orgasm with a guy.
The more and more I do these reviews I realize kids have some bad taste. This movie was mindless, it really was very predictable and not very good. The message was definitely inappropriate for kids. If you are going to let your kids watch this and you don't want them to being sleeping with other people then you should most certainly talk to your kids on what is and isn't okay in this movie.
This movie, like the book, is hilarious but also contains a few things that you might not want your kids to hear. Namely a scene involving drag that younger kids might ask you about and it could just be uncomfortable.
You know you've found "the one" if they can give you an orgasm?
Funny and witty movie that could be very influential for teens. This movie romanticizes teen sexual behavior. Frequent straight and gay sex is treated as the norm for these teens. Parents are mostly absent. And the main message-- the only way you know you've found "the one" is if they can give you an orgasm?
As an adult, I was very entertained, but I couldn't help thinking how destructive this could be to teens who think this is how they need to be to fit in.
This movie is good. I thought It was pretty funny. the language isnt that bad and there is some sexual stuff in it but not that bad. worth watching for sure.
This movie was fine, not great. It really isn't appropriate for kids under 15 as there's a lot of mature content (orgasms, homosexuality, drunkeness, friends with benefits, etc.) Shouldn't have been rated PG13 and sorry I didn't check this site before I rented it.
This is a very sweet and simple story filled with likeable characters. The only concern I can find people having is with the language. Yes, one teenager get's incredibly drunk but there are some very gross situations she get's herself into as a result.
The story is sweet and while there's no sex, the drinking might be an issue for some parents. It's made to look so funny and fun, with no consequences -- which could be misleading for younger fans. But the movie is so sweet and both the stars make this into an old-fashion love story.
I thought this movie would be better than it actually was. It was ok, but there were alot of inappropriate things for kids. For example, high school kids getting drunk (really nasty puking scene), having sex (no nudity but you could hear what was going on) and some language/discussion of mature subjects.
