The Virginity Hit Review

Messages: There's some small attempt to convince viewers to "only have sex with someone you love," but the extremely iffy behavior that leads up to this message makes it not worth the effort. Characters play pranks on one another, steal, damage property, and treat women as objects. The obsession with sex as an activity or a rite of passage borders on unhealthy, and there are no consequences for any of this behavior. The characters' constant use of YouTube leads to some cyberbullying incidents; the movie doesn't address that issue within the context of digital safety/privacy.

Role models: Matt is something of a survivor, having lost his mother to cancer and dealt with a drug-addict father. He waits to have sex with his girlfriend, but mainly because he "wants it to be perfect." Still, he's not exactly role model material; he's a perpetual victim, and he sulks a lot. And over the course of the movie, he does hope and plan to have sex with girls he's not in love with; the fact that he never goes through with it is due to circumstances beyond his control.

Violence: Some insults and mild brawling among the friends. There's a jokey mention of rape.

Sex: Almost constant crass sex talk/innuendo, and some nudity. Viewers see images from the Internet of the real-life porn star Sunny Leone having sex, though neither her male partner nor penetration are shown. One of Matt's potential partners e-mails a naked picture of herself. Matt practices cunnilingus on an inflatable dummy. The boys visit a strip club -- some nudity among the strippers. A frat boy clearly enjoys oral sex, though the girl (and the act) are out of view. Matt shaves his genitalia in preparation for sex. Occasional kissing, both male-female and female-female. Brief partial female nudity in a couple of scenes as Matt attempts to have sex. Girls in bikinis.

Language: Lots of uses of "f--k" and "s--t," as well as "d--k," "slut," "hell," "t-ts," "boner," "bitch," "p---y," "jack off," "ass," and "oh my God."

Consumerism: YouTube is a constant presence in the characters' lives and is used throughout the course of the film. A Gatorade bottle is visible in one shot.

Drinking, drugs and smoking: The teen characters make a deal to smoke pot together from a special bong each time one of them loses his virginity. They also drink frequently, often to drunkenness; they're seen drinking everything from beer to hard liquor. An adult character is a drug addict and/or alcoholic.
