Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this indie teen comedy about a high school student who starts an underground newspaper and must overcome opposition from the school and his classmates deals with teen-relevant topics like bullying and cliques. It brings some mature content to the table in doing so, from frequent swearing (including "f--k" and "s--t") to drinking, sexual situations, and a scene in which characters watch a video of an attempted rape.

Sexual Content

Several discussions about sex. A few scenes show teens kissing and suggest that more is about to happen.

Violence

A few physical encounters between high school students, including fistfights, wrestling, and violent bullying. One scene features people watching a video of an attempted sexual assault.

Language

Frequent swearing, including "f--k," "s--t," "a--hole," "whore," and "bastard." A few people make obscene gestures.

Social Behavior

Gonzo and his friends learn that you shouldn't be intimidated by bullies; they all have a weakness, just like the rest of us. That said, Gonzo also bends a few rules (and exposes others' secrets) to pursue his dreams.

Consumerism

Gonzo often works on an Apple laptop and craves Red Bull energy drinks.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

One scene shows adults drinking beer while relaxing at home, and a few scenes feature teens who appear to be drinking at a party.
