Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that The Final Girls is a comical spoof of horror movies, with modern characters "stuck" inside a slasher movie from the 1980s. Expect a few gory and/or shocking slasher-movie moments, but compared to "pure" slasher movies, it's fairly mild. Characters also fight with machetes, and there are some explosions and a fire. Sexual innuendo is strong, but it's usually intended to be funny. A Playboy magazine is shown, and characters are definitely talking and thinking about sex (including discussion of who is and isn't a virgin). Language isn't especially frequent but does include uses of "s--t" and "bitch." Characters take the drug Adderall, and there's some cigarette smoking and drinking (beer and vodka). The movie is clever and funny, as well as surprisingly touching, as the main character learns to let go of a lost loved one.

Sexual Content

Sex talk and innuendo. Cover of Playboy magazine shown. Characters are thinking of having sex, but they're interrupted. Discussion of who's a virgin and who isn't. Striptease dance (no graphic nudity).

Violence

Brief gory images (severed head in a refrigerator, etc.). Violent car crash; a major character dies. Fire in a movie house. Neck-snapping, choking. Machete in a man's waist. Firecrackers thrown into an occupied outhouse; a character is burned. A second car crash and explosion, with a body snapped in two. Character is caught in a bear trap. More machete stabbing.

Language

Fairly infrequent language includes "s--t," "bitch," "hell," and "Jesus" (as an exclamation).
