Rapid-fire parody aimed squarely at teen boys.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this movie contains some mild cursing, drug use, a drawn-out barroom brawl between two Girl Scouts, and plenty of sexual innuendo. The drug and sexual references may fly over the heads of younger viewers. However, the overall tone of the film makes it clear that nothing is to be taken seriously.
- Families can talk about the use of humor in the movie. This movie is an equal opportunity offender that features several jokes at the expense of women, people of color, war veterans, and gays. Parents might consider talking with their kids about the intentions of the filmmakers. How does context change the way we interpret comedy?
