Rim of the World

Parents need to know that Rim of the World is unusually raunchy for an adventure film organized around young protagonists. Four oddball kids are thrown together at a summer camp when the earth happens to be invaded by human-eating aliens bent on total destruction. The kids bond and slowly overcome their personal fears in service of a cause greater than themselves -- saving the planet. The kids utter curse words, including "f--k," "s--t," "d--k," "c--k," "t-tties," and "bitch," a fact that makes this an iffy choice for kids young enough to actually be interested in watching 13-year-old protagonists. When the team finds a place to sleep that has only two beds, the one girl in the group innocently says that one of the boys can sleep in the bed with her. One of the boys treat the offer as if sex might be part of the deal. An alien sticks a bodily probe into a boy's mouth. The boy escapes and describes the probe as a tongue but another boy suggests it might well have been the alien's penis. An attractive woman directs a boy to put something in her "box" and the boy acts as if she's offering him sex. A boy makes reference to a "Lithuanian smoothie," a sexual practice. When the aliens attack, one kids says, "I haven't even had sex yet." One teen boasts about his sexual experience, although no one believes him. The violence is intense -- a human is eaten by an alien monster in a scene that features loud chewing noises. There are plenty of dead bodies and blood. One teen boasts about his sexual experience, although no one believes him. On the plus side, team work and personal growth are sub-themes.
