Better for 15 and up
My parents rented this movie to watch and I'm only 12. It was definetly NOT for a child my age. I can handle language amd the drug scenes. But the sex was a little off for me. Mostly when it showed the womens breast in the porn....

Familiar coming of age genre told with magnificent performances.
I would say that this movie is appropriate for everyone 15 and up due to mature thematic material involving non-stop drug content and sexuality. The worst is a where Luke's (Josh Peck) sex scene is alternated with Dr. Squires's (Ben Kingsely) sex scene. Dr. Squires's is watching a pornographic video (breast nudity) while having sex with his wife. Drug-dealing and use is non-stop throughout the entire movie. I just love how apparently Smart People is rated 16 on CommonSense but The Wackness is 15. I would say that this movie is appropriate for a fifteen year old, but if they are saying that Smart People is a 16, then The Wackness should be a 25.
