Sex & Nudity

*one of the main themes of this movie is that 3 kids who think that a booze-soaked party is the perfect opportunity to lose their virginity. *non-stop graphic, crude, and extreme sexual dialogue, jokes, and situations:

some major offensive scenes include

--the first 5 minutes of the movie is a conversation about which Porn Site Seth should join when he turns 18. A flashback is shown of the three boys looking at it. (all 3 boys are underage)

--the duo enter a store and look at a magazine cover showing nudity (female breasts)

--a scene where Seth tells Evan he used to draw Penises as a child. (for 4 or 5 minutes he holds up several drawings of cartoon penises)

--Becca is so drunk shes literally about to give Evan a "B.J."...it doesnt happen though

--McLovin starts to have sex with Michella...then the cops "cockblock him"

--A woman who is dancing with Seth, bleeds from her vagina onto his leg (only the aftermath is seen...not the actual bleeding)...several jokes about the blood and where it came from ensue.

several other jokes and situations all involving underage teens.

There is a scene through out most of the credits where it shows drawn penises.

Violence & Gore

*Seth daydreams having his throat slit. very fake, but intense.

*Jesse spits on a police officer, who turns and strikes him hard in the head with his nightstick (the boy falls to the ground).

*At the college party two men get into a brutal fistfight (however it is seen from a distance)

*A man who's robbing a liquor store punches Fogel in the face and the boy falls to the floor (we see the punch repeatedly when a security tape is replayed).

*other scenes of "play-fighting" and comedy-style action. (kicked in the nuts, punched in the stomach, etc.)

*the only gore in the movie are 3 scenes involving someone throwing up:

--Becca does because shes so drunk

--Officer Michaels does it because he chased Evan all the way down the block

--Fogel because Seth spun him around very fast

Profanity

183 uses of the fuck, A-word, S-word and other stuff

Frequent drinking both by teenagers and by police on duty. A few of the teenagers and even one of the police officers vomit after their drinking.

A scene involves Evan using the phone in a room where some partygoers end up entering out of nowhere and start snorting cocaine. Evan panics and tries to leave, but they force him to sing.

There are some shots of marijuana use in the background of both party scenes. During the tracking shot for the first party, you see a man smoking a joint outside, and another one taking a bong hit inside. In the second party scene, you see a man exhaling marijuana smoke in the background, and as Seth and Evan escape the party, you see a teenager light a pipe(you briefly hear bubbling and see some smoke).

Drugs: Cocaine and Marijuana.
