What parents need to know
Parents need to know that not only does this movie show authority figures using drugs and alcohol, but they condone underage drinking and drug use. Police officers do beer bong hits in the final scene with the teens they are supposed to be arresting. Sexual content includes the depiction of masturbation, bestiality, and implied group sex, along with some naked breasts and a brief moment of full frontal male nudity. Bad language is pretty frequent.
Positive role models:
Who can you trust when law enforcement agents act like fraternity boys? Even the head of the highway patrol gets wasted and encourages hazing rituals.
Violence:
Cops and highway patrolmen brawl constantly -- throwing punches and giving bloody noses. Guns are used in comedic situations. A Taser is used. A dead woman is found face-down in a bowl of pig food.
Sex:
Various sexual situations, implying group sex and sex with animals. A cartoon logo of a monkey having sex is featured. Police officers take sexual bribes from a woman and her husband. Breasts are shown, and a male cop is shown frontally nude for a moment.
Language:
Frequent use of language including "f--k," "motherf----r," "s--t," "ass," "sucks," "d--k," "p---y, "bulls--t," and more.
Consumerism:
Porsche, Mack truck, Cartoon Network, Levi Strauss are all mentioned.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The first scene shows teens in a car smoking a joint, then, as the highway patrol approaches, one teen passenger consumes two bags of pot and a bag of psychedelic mushrooms to hide the evidence. Lots of heavy drinking -- most notably in the final scenes, in which even the boss of the highway patrol crew gets so drunk that he nearly passes out. Highway patrol officers drink hard liquor and beer while driving. A teen says "I love acid!"

Not great, not bad
I enjoyed parts of this movie. I did think though that much of it was unnecissary. It was more violent than I thought it would be. It was also very sexual and vulgar. Bottom Line: There's no need to leave your house this instant and buy it, or even rent it, but if you do see it, just remeber: there are better movie selections. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

Laughing at the Vulgarity.
I personally love this movie to death! I saw it when I was sixteen, and it was one of the funniest movies I'd ever seen at that point. It's really important to see the ridiculousness of it. Meow, there are certain things you can't take seriously, and it should be common sense that the cops don't act like this. As long as you teach your children the value of common sense, it shouldn't be a problem.
Separate reality from fantasy. It takes an interesting sense of humor, but if you're Mormon, I don't really recommend it.

Very funny movie. Loved it from beginning to end. Most people I guess wouldn't agree or get a laugh from the humor, but everybodys different.
