Kind of awkward

There's quite some scenes that I believe are way too much for 12 year olds in fact if you look at what the kids say it's higher than the parents. It's awkward nobody want to watch that with their parents.

Cute movie, could have been better

This movie was cute, predictable, and sweet. The only problem I really had with it was the character "Amy" played by Julie Bowen from 'Modern Family'. She was the only Caucasian speaking role (that wasn't a big deal); my problem was how rude she was. At one point she was commenting on the different shades of skin color, and at another point she asked an elderly maid if she needs to use sunscreen. I think they could have used the opportunity to encourage positive inter race relations instead of succumbing to lowering another race to stupidity and rudeness.

Disappointing...

My 16 year old son and I rented this movie with the hopes of a funny and enjoyable movie. He (not me) ended up turning it off about half way through because it was not that funny and frankly slapped family values in the face. If there was any reason to watch this movie with your teenager, it would be an example of how not to develop and handle relationships. Very disappointing movie.

I was not as comfortable with this as I was lead to believe...

I watched this movie with my 60 year old mother and 11 year old daughter. Overall this movie was fine--typical wedding movie fluff with no real substance, but entertaining to watch. After reading the CS review I felt like it was ok for my daughter as many of the things would go over her head. What was not mentioned were a few major things that made me feel very uncomfortable and should have been elaborated on by CS. In the scene where Sabrina is shown in her bra and panties there is a VERY passionate kiss with her obviously trying not to have sex with her fiancé and she jumps on him and wraps her legs around him. In addition, after this she notices that he has an erection and they talk in code about “it” and why he was not able to control it while continually looking down at his pants. It is pretty obvious what they are talking about. In addition, when the caterer and a bridesmaid kiss and are caught in their lingerie and underwear there is a lot of “erotic” eating of food and the kissing is very passionate. There is A LOT of mentioning about the fact that Jason has waited 6 months to have sex and how he has been handling it. He mentions that he has been using a lot of “medicated Vaseline and baby oil”. Also, during his very chaste bachelor party his cousin mentions that at a “real” bachelor party there would be strippers sitting on your lap and he does a hand gesture as if he were holding a woman’s hips and bouncing her on his crotch. Lastly one character loudly mentions that she is a transvestite. The sexual situations in this move were played very sexual in instead of funny in most cases and I was uncomfortable. I would agree with CS that this is for kids 13 and up, but they should have provide more information to allow parents to determine if there is any flexibility on their review.

Lots of fun made at waiting for sexual intimacy before marriage. References made about male self gratification.
