Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie is not for those with weak stomachs -- it has lots of theatrical (though mercifully camouflaged) vomiting and dares to eat disgusting food combinations. Male characters anchor the action while two appealing girl actors are reduced to decorative sidekicks. A grandma, dad, and son make up the main family unit, and a multicultural group of friends sticks together.

Sexual Content

Teen flirting and one kiss.

Violence

Mild bullying and intimidation; repeated food fights, including one battle royal.

Language

Not applicable

Social Behavior

A student tries to win popularity through stunts like chugging a gallon of milk and doing wild magic tricks. A female student is talked out of running for class president so that two boys can compete, and doesn't seem to see this as a letdown. An unsupervised (though apparently dry) teen party is shown. The main character learns hard lessons about embracing the gift that makes him unique.

Consumerism

The cast is studded with Disney Channel stars.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
