What Parents Need to Know

About She's All That

Parents need to know that this movie has strong language, teen drinking, and casual sex (though not by the main characters). Zach's friend brags that he is going to get Laney to have sex with him in a hotel room he has arranged for the occasion. For some reason, when Laney's friend overhears this, instead of making the stunningly obvious move of telling Laney what the guy has in mind, he races around trying to get the message to someone else. Parents should know that the movie includes an ugly and graphic scene in which a school bully torments Laney's hearing-impaired brother by reaching into his pants to grab some pubic hair and putting it on his pizza. Zach then forces the bully and his friend to eat it. Yuck.

    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 1.0

    I thought this movie was disgusting. It was about casual sex, teen drinking, and teenagers using terrible language.

    I can't believe what Hollywood is making these days. It has casual sex, drinking and bad language. No wonder kids are so sqrewed up these days. Unforturately my 13 year old watched it at a friend's house so I had no control. Pubic hair on a pizza and somebody ate it. What is wrong with this society. It makes me sick!

    sooo good!

    I LOVE this movie! racheal cook is an awesome actress, and she's very relateable. if you like this, then you'll also love "ten things i hate about you." You WILL love this if you are between 11+ years old.
