What Parents Need to Know
About Sex Drive
Parents need to know that this hard-R high school sex comedy -- which is squarely aimed at teens -- is "Judd Apatow lite," meaning that it has all the crassness of Apatow's comedies but not nearly as much heart or brilliance. It centers around a high school senior who's fixed on losing his virginity with the help of a girl he met on the Internet. The road trip to see her is pockmarked with one over-the-top sequence after the next, many of which feature nudity, graphic discussions of sex acts, sex toys, and more. There's also plenty of underage drinking and lots of swearing (including "f--k").

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the consequences of underage drinking. How realistic is what happens to the teen characters in this movie? What do you think would happen to them in real life if they got drunk? Families can also discuss whether the film portrays teens -- and, by extension, teen life -- accurately? If so, how? What issues does the film address? Was Ian's decision to drive so far to tryst with a stranger adventurous or foolhardy? What about his intent pursuit of losing his virginity? Why is it so important to him? Is that realistic?

Let your teens watch sex-related movies
I'm 35 this year and I have two kids, both 14 and 21. Nowadays, we want our kids to stay away from raunchy sex-related movies and so on. But come to think of it, when you were their age, you'd be waiting for your parents to be out of the house just so you could watch porn. So today, when you have kids, you would do whatever you can to stop them. I let my kids watch sex-related movies. But of course, not the over-raunchy ones. Just a couple of passionate and hungry make-outs and nudity wouldn't hurt, though. Also, I let them hang out with guys in their room coz once I caught them half-naked with my 14 year old daughter's boyfriend on top of her. Instead of scolding them, I told them nicely not to go over-the-top and they listened. Half-an-hour later, I took a peek and they were just making out without having sex. So, about this movie, I think you can cut your teens some slack and let them enjoy the movie. Besides, pretty soon it's going to be their turn.
