Hell, I'm not defending moral purity - I'm disgusted that filth is foisted upon our unsuspecting youth. As for my use of "f'ing" and "Bullshit", I apologize if I offended you. But I sincerely doubt this board is frequented by pre-teens of the female gender.As for taking a 9 year old, I read the review and saw the previews, neither of which even hinted at sexual displays. On the contrary, they both indicated a humorous spoof on scary movies. You missed the point, or obviously didn't read my post. I am disappointed at the UNSUPERVISED pre-teens in attendance. At least I was there and able to hustle my granddaughter out in a big hurry. Where were the other (responsible) parents/grandparents/guardians?
To start,
it sounds like this movie should have an X rating. The cynicism of the movie industry in it's use of ratings is excessive.
If they can't tell the truth; perhaps ratings should be handled by the govt. Personally i avoid teen movies like the plague. But from what the other posters have said; i gather this one exposes minors to stuff we don't want them seeing.
Teen horror movies. My pre-teen granddaughter loves these, as just about everyone her age does. Ya know, trying to be grown up. Anyway, she bugged me to take her. I saw the previews on TV several times and it looked like a harmless spoof of teen horror movies. I read Roger Ebert's review and he raved about about it. The entertainment headline for it in our local paper read: "Satirical attack of horror movies is mindless, but good fun." The full review gave absolutely no indication of sexual content. I relented and took her, knowing full well that if things got out of hand, we'd be outta there in a flash. Exactly what happened. There was absolutely no redeeming values whatsoever in this flick - filth, perversity, racism, foul language - you name it, it was there. What the hell was Ebert thinking? Better yet, what the hell were the producers thinking??Yes, the movie deserves an X rating. But how is anyone to know beforehand??? Irresponsible journalism leads them to believe it is "good fun."
It's just too bad other parents weren't there to lead their children away.
