Good Boys: parents' guide

15+our pick

Best for ages 15 and up. Rated R for strong crude sexual content, drug and alcohol material, and language throughout - all involving tweens.

A sweet-at-heart but extremely raunchy comedy that stars sixth graders without being made for them. Three best friends skip school on a quest to replace a broken drone before a kissing party, and get tangled up with sex toys, a sex doll, a stolen bottle of Molly and a frat house. The boys swear constantly, with more than 50 f-words by one count, handle sexual objects they don't understand, sip beer, and see teens high on drugs and a teacher snorting cocaine at a school play. Violence is slapstick. Age 15 reflects the language and the crude sexual and drug content, despite the young cast.

What's in it

Violence

Moderate

Comic but sometimes painful: a frat-house brawl with a paintball gun and wooden boards, a tween punched in the face, a run across a busy freeway that causes a pileup, and a dislocated shoulder forced back in while the boy screams.

Language

Strong

Nearly constant, much of it from 12-year-olds: by one count more than 50 f-words and nearly 20 s-words, plus 'asshole,' 'bitch,' frequent crude words for genitals and repeated misuse of God's name.

Sex and nudity

Moderate

No sex is shown, but crude sexual material is everywhere: the boys practice kissing on a sex doll (a plastic breast is seen), misuse sex toys they don't understand, and describe porn. A boy touches himself while ogling a game character. Tweens kiss at a party.

Drinking, drugs and smoking

Strong

A bottle of Molly drives the plot, and two teen girls are shown high on it. The boys buy more from a college student, who blows pot smoke in a boy's face, and sip beer. A teacher snorts cocaine backstage at a school play.

Scary or intense scenes

Mild

Mostly comic peril: the boys are chased, dash across a freeway, and for a while believe they caused someone's death. Nothing is truly scary.

Worth talking about

The boys pretend to know far more about sex and drugs than they do. Use that to ask what your kid has heard from friends and to sort out the facts together.
