MPAA Rating: R for pervasive crude and sexual content, strong language, drinking, some drug use and a fantasy/comic violent image - all involving teens
Judd Apatow produced and Seth Rogen co-wrote this foul-mouthed, raunchy, sweet-natured comedy, which is about teenagers. As best friends Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) near high school graduation, they fixate on the idea of losing their virginity. Invited to a party, they decide the only hope they have of achieving their goal is to get some girls drunk there. However, Seth and Evan aren't old enough to buy booze, and they enlist the aid of a nerdy kid called Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). Fogell has a fake I.D., although it gives his name as McLovin.
