Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Freeloaders is an over-the-top comedy from Broken Lizard, the troupe behind Super Troopers, Club Dredd, The Babymakers, and more. The group's brand of humor is vulgar and simpleminded, with lots of sexual content and very strong language (including "f--k," "s--t," "c--k," and much more). One scene, in which a porn movie is shot, particularly stands out, with female toplessness, simulated sex, naked male bottoms, and heavy innuendo and sex talk; another scene briefly shows full-frontal male nudity. The main characters drink beer regularly and smoke pot in one long scene. No one appears to have any addictions or drug-related troubles, but there's a joke about drug dealing. There's some arguing, and a brief shot of fighting during a party. Enthusiasm over Broken Lizard's movies seems to have died down in the past decade, so it's unlikely that many teens will be interested.

Sexual Content

During one sequence, the friends agree to let a porn movie shoot in the mansion; this sequence includes female toplessness, male bottoms, simulated sex, and heavy sexual innuendo and porn terminology. Brief, full-frontal male nudity is shown in another sequence, as well as other scenes of flirting, kissing, and seduction (men and women in hot tubs together).

Violence

A brief scene of fighting during a party, and characters sometimes tease and antagonize one another.

Language

Language is extremely strong, with multiple uses of "f--k" and "s--t," as well as "c--k," "c--t," "a--hole," the "N" word, "ass," "nutsack," "bitch," "d--k," "penis," "jizz," "semen," "balls," "anal," and "Jesus Christ."

Social Behavior

With the exception of the central romance, the movie is mainly about avoiding responsibility, lying, cheating, taking advantage of friends, and generally giving up control of your life.

Consumerism

Pinkberry frozen yogurt is mentioned in one scene as being very addictive. A Coca-Cola can is briefly on view in another scene.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Though no one appears to overindulge or have an addiction problem, characters are shown constantly sipping at beers or drinking wine with dinner. One long sequence shows all the friends smoking pot over the course of a day. One scene alludes to the friends being drug dealers (a man asks for a "dime bag").
