Parents need to know that this film is not for children. The movie contains full frontal female nudity, repeated references to sexual scenarios involving defecation, a storyline in which three teen boys plot "to get laid," and an alcoholic father who urges his teen daughter to commit incest. There are also several references to marijuana, as well as underage drinking, some scenes of comic violence, and lots of strong language (including "f--k" and "s--t").
Positive messages:The movie is intended as a spoof, but that doesn't excuse the fact that there are no positive messages to speak of. Stereotypes run rampant, and no topic is off limits. Teen drinking and sex are treated very lightly.
Positive role models:No parent would want their teen behaving like the characters in this movie, who drink, hook up, and act in a generally depraved manner. Women are treated primarily as sexual objects.
Violence:Most of the fairly infrequent violent acts are comedic, but they're severe in nature (characters are hit by vehicles, literally get torn part, etc.) and lack repercussions.
Sex:Frequent and extreme references to teens "getting laid," plus numerous portrayals of nudity (full-frontal female nudity, cleavage, bare buttocks and breasts), frank dialogue, and situations. Sex toys are seen. Also tons of references to male and female anatomy and lesbian sex.
Language:Frequent use of words like "f--k," "s--t," "p---y," "c--k," "laid," "ass," "tits," "hell," "crap," "oh my God," and "goddamn."
Consumerism:Some mention of fashion and cosmetics.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Alcohol and marijuana use (including by underage characters), generally without consequence. One adult character is an alcoholic.

I agree with kfx1138 I wouldn't be bad if a 13 year old saw it but it was kinda scary because a guy got ripped in half by playing football I had nightmares forever
There is average teenage sexuality (masturbation, breasts exposed, lots of sexual talk,...) and very strong language.
Also typical, the teenagers drink a lot and smoke joints at one point.
All this is totally cliche and satirical.
What the MPAA does not say (and this is the most disturbing part in the movie):
There is one scene of strong gory violence.
A boy gets torn apart in half. (from left to right). You see his bloody flesh all over the ground while he still lives.
It is unexpected and will most likely shock older and younger viewers. It is meant to be comical, but it is not depicted like it.
The violence is other spoof movies is much less extreme.
I watched it at the age of 13 and i could not handle it. I watched it again, and i could handle it (perhabs because i knew what happens). If you watch it for the first time, i would not recommend it under the age of 15. That's the age where you might need to look away, but without being disturbed all night.
It is comical, though for it is extremely unrealistic. But if you have seen "Meet the Spartans" or "Vampires Suck" - which also had some rather strong comical violence - Not another Teen Movie's violence looks much more real than those and is more shocking. Absolutely not recommended to watch it unless you are an older teen.
have any one seen the unrated version?
besides getting a few laughs from this movie, it has almost EVERY bad reference there could be in movies. i know it's funny but, did they have to have students having sex in school against a window? that wuz just unnessary
This is a very funny movie. I know that there is the nude exchange student and all, but this movie is still appropriate for pg-13. I think people are just overreacting.
Ok. So there is this new nudist exchange student at a high school. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?!?!?!?!?!? It's just fricking nudity. The languageis a little bit iffy, but what movie's languange isn't these days? I mean seriously, name one movie that doesn't have any sexual material. This movie is fine.
Horrible! Contains: Extremely strong language, very explicit sexual content, and an act of gory slapstick violence.-Not an issue compared to sexual content and language.
