NOTE: If you do not want the plot, ending, or "secrets" of a movie spoiled for you, skip the Summary/Commentary. In any case, be sure to visit the Findings/Scoring section -- it is purely objective and is the heart of the CAP Entertainment Media Analysis Model applied to this movie.





SUMMARY / COMMENTARY:

If Scriptural references appear, the full text appears at the end of the Summary / Commentary likely using a mix of KJV and NIV.


NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE (R) -- vulgar, toilet, incestuous and perverted "humor" *clearly* targeted at early teen boys.

NOTE: None of the organizations in the images on this page are paying one cent for the space.

I will not prepare a storyline for this movie. I don't think there was one. There may have been an attempt at a storyline -- a boy-girl love story as a popular teen boy accepts a bet about him being able to change an unpopular girl into a Prom queen. But beyond that it was nothing more than vulgar, toilet, incestuous and perverted "humor" *clearly* targeted at early teen boys.

For the benefit of those who subscribe to our newsletter which provides the text-only of this Summary/Commentary, the scoring distribution sure reveals what the movie makers think about what your teens want, mom/dad. Of a possible 100 points in each area, Wanton Violence/Crime earned 61. Impudence/hate (which includes foul language) earned ZERO. Sex/Homosexuality earned ZERO. Drugs/Alcohol earned ZERO. Offense to God (which includes using God's name in vain) earned ZERO. Murder/Suicide earned 100. Foul language of some sort came at nearly 70 examples per hour. Sexual tripe also came almost at 70 examples per hour. By the way, the theater manager doubled security to prevent entry by all the middle school boys trying to get in on opening night, most of which were dropped off by mom/dad. Apparently.

Beyond what I have said so far, I am not going to describe any of the individual issues of ignominy in this Summary/Commentary section. The listing in the Findings/Scoring section will tell you all I am going to say about the content of this movie targeted at 11 - 14 year old boys.

SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)

  • Summary of God's admonitions against sexual immorality: Any sexual contact (including visual), conduct, or activity outside of a monogamous heterosexual marriage is sinful.
  • Ezek. 11:21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
  • James 1:21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
  • Deut. 5:11 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain [shav' {shawv}: emptiness, nothingness, vanity]: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless [naqah {naw-kaw'}: blameless, innocent] that taketh his name in vain.
  • Eph. 5:4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

    *******Food for Thought*******
  • 1 Cor. 15:33 (KJV) Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. (NIV) Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.
  • Jude 4 For certain men* whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. [*men: anthropos {anth'-ro-pos}, generic, a human being, whether male or female]
  • Matt. 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto [or for] one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto [or for] me.

    NOTE: The CAP Analysis Model makes no scoring allowances for trumped-up "messages" to excuse or for manufacturing of justification for aberrant behavior or imagery, or for camouflaging such ignominy with "redeeming" programming. Disguising sinful behavior in a theme plot does not excuse the sinful behavior of either the one who is drawing pleasure from the sinful display or the practitioners demonstrating the sinful behavior. This is NOT a movie review service. It is a movie analysis service to parents and grandparents to tell them the truth about movies using the Truth.


    "There are some in the entertainment industry who maintain that 1) violent programming is harmless because no studies exist that prove a connection between violent entertainment and aggressive behavior in children, and 2) young people know that television, movies, and video games are simply fantasy. Unfortunately, they are wrong on both accounts." And "Viewing violence may lead to real life violence." I applaud these associations for fortifying 1 Cor. 15:33. Read the rest of the story. From our five-year study, I contend that other aberrant behaviors, attitudes, and expressions can be inserted in place of "violence" in that statement. Our Director - Child Psychology Support, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist concurs. For example, "Viewing arrogance against fair authority may lead to your kids defying you in real life." Or "Viewing sex may lead to sex in real life." Likewise and especially with impudence, hate and foul language. I further contend that any positive behavior can be inserted in place of "violence" with the same chance or likelihood of being a behavior template for the observer; of being incorporated into the behavior mechanics and/or coping skills of the observer. In choosing your entertainment, please consider carefully the "rest of the story" and our findings.

    (1) As noted in CAP Special Report-001, "Investigation Area and Scoring Trend," of the six CAP Investigation Areas, Impudence/Hate was the strongest presence in all four movie classifications. It has a strong revelation about the entertainment media.

    (2) The use of the three/four letter word vocabulary without God's name in vain is incorporated into the Impudence/Hate Investigation Area. The use of God's name with or without the four letter expletive is incorporated into the Offense to God Investigation Area. There is no duplication.

    (3) Only portrayal of successful murder or suicide are incorporated into Murder/Suicide. Portrayal of attempts to commit murder or suicide and deaths by police action or war are incorporated into Wanton Violence/Crime.
