I plan to watch this with my middle schooler.
I don't remember any nudity or recreational drug use. Is my memory faulty in my old age? |

Okay, thanks! So about as innocent as I remember and much less graphic than the average middle school. Fairly mild on the teen movie front and much better than waht is available now. |

We have been going through the old 80s movies this spring. Goonies, Karate Kid. Ferris Bueler is next on the list |

Just a little mild language and making out in the pool at the end.
That's my favorite movie of all time  I loved it in high school!

It's a classic. I've had good luck with Common Sense Media reviews:

| We watched it while on vacation with extended family; it was a big hit with all the kids. My youngest nephew who's 12 particularly enjoyed it, and has since taken to addressing his oldest cousin, who's 24 as "a righteous dude". |

| Yes to drug use -- although they don't show it. |

Toatlly inappropriate for middle school. |

There are worse things--it's mostly sex. "Featured in the film is a fifteen-year-old girl becoming pregnant and having an abortion, simulated oral sex using produce, and a male character masturbating. The film treats the topic of sex seriously, though, and does not glorify or advocate casual sex" Plenty of talking points. |

Wow...To a middle-schooler today this movie will probably seem so old-school. Lol.
Talk about a time warp...Thirty years to be exact. |
