Tanner Hall Review

Messages: Despite some of the inappropriate decisions explored in the movie, there are a couple of positive messages about the need for unconditional friendships and the importance of being honest about who you are with those who love you.

Role models: Most of the characters are flawed adolescents, but Lucasta is relatable for teens who might be questioning their sexuality. She's confused about how she feels but in the end is honest about it with her male best friend. Both Fernanda and Victoria redeem themselves, although Victoria's one good decision doesn't make up for her cruelty and manipulation.

Violence: One character secretly cuts herself and expresses suicidal thoughts.

Sex: Brief nudity during a scene in the girls' showers (one girl's breasts are seen very briefly). A married woman keeps trying to get her husband to have sex and humorously asks him to rub her (clothed) breasts and tries to have sex with him. Jokes about Viagra, erections, a penis looking like a "boiled shrimp," and other sexual remarks. A male teacher has fantasies about one of his flirtatious students, whom he imagines wet and naked (lots of skin but no actual nudity). On various occasions, a student comes on to her teacher, sucking provocatively on her pencil, asking him to help her with a leg injury while she's wrapped in a towel in the bathroom, etc. A couple has sex in a car. Adolescents kiss at a fair. A teenager loses her virginity to an older man (they're both seen shirtless on a sofa together). Two girls get in a bath together, and one teaches the other how to kiss.

Language: One "f--k," plus several uses of "s--t," "bitch," "a--hole," etc.

Consumerism: Not an issue

Drinking, drugs and smoking: Victoria's mother acts like an alcoholic, even at a baby's christening. Teens get high smoking pot. An adult drinks in front of a minor he's trying to seduce and breathes marijuana smoke into her mouth. A mother and a teen smoke cigarettes.
