While a very crude movie that heavily relies on low comedy , it was still a very engaging and hilarious movie that I loved watching and wouldn't mind watching again!

Watched this movie with my 19yo son. Both of us laughed the whole time. Sometime with these movies all of the funny stuff is in the trailers. Not even close with this one. Laughs upon laughs.

The kids are naive and their attempts to learnThis R-rated comedy is about a trio of tweens (Room and The Predator's Jacob Tremblay, Last Man on Earth's Keith L. Williams, and Brady Noon) who want to learn how to kiss for an upcoming party. The kids are naive and their attempts to learn land them in a series of increasingly insane situations. And I loved it.

The movie is insanely funny. Joke after joke lands. I haven't laughed so much during a movie in a long, long time.

The three leads are all distinctive and likable. The actors do an excellent job. The entire cast is strong.

They do try a little too hard at points to push the boundaries of what you can do with children in a movie. There is one scene that is especially uncomfortable. I'm not trying to censor, but ask yourself: how far is too far?

The film has a good ending, but I felt a few parts could've been edited down. The film runs briskly at an hour and a half. Part of strength is it pacing, jumping constantly from situation to situation without driving a joke to death. However, you expect things to slow down once you reach the wrap up.

Unless you feel uncomfortable with children in some pretty mature situations, I highly recommend this.

Best comedy ever. I left the movie theater feeling like I was going to have abs from laughing so much.

Anyone who's watched the trailer has seen most of the funniest moments, but there's a raunchy innocence that keeps it fun. The boys create enjoyable characters and the pace only slows when they take time for the emotional friendship crap. The idea of dropping the classic high school nerd comedy to middle school allows the writers to ramp up the kids' unknowingly comic responses. It's not as hilarious as hoped, but it still provides enjoyable pubescent hi jinks. Expand

It isn’t as funny as “Superbad” or as well-written as “Booksmart,” but I found myself laughing a constant amount, several times long after the punchline.

There are several very funny parts, including some where one can only wince at the boys' evident discomfort. The trailer probably gives too many jokes away. And there are scenes where one must suspend disbelief. All in all, it is an enjoyable film for adults and older teens. Expand

Really funny movie and might become a classic comedy in future. Maybe not the funniest comedy ever but certainly one of the best of last years.

Went into this movie not expecting much, but instantly it connected with me. The comedy was good, the child actors were good, and they even managed to stick a well placed coming of age theme in. Great job!

It's about friends, family and fitting in. The scenes and emotions reminded me of my own awkward youth and teenage awakening. The movie will probably resonate with every male over 12. Great soundtrack too. Expand

Sure, it’s not Superbad funny but it’s the best comedy to come out in a far too long time. Expand

The great step from childhood to puberty through three kids who must to recover an apparatus they borrowed without permission. The odyssey allows some gags, right; the final result is a few uneven but the final act is the one that takes the merits.

The scenes at the beginning are strangely short and seemingly randomly stitched together, but besides that this movie is very funny albeit a little predictable. 83/100

It did still deliver laughs but after seeing the trailers was expecting there to be many more. Only rated 14A here in Canada and I can understand why, it is very raunchy but there is much worse out there. It is more heartfelt then expected and it has a good balance of heart to laughs. Its a good movie for a quick laugh. Has a short run time but doesn't need to be any longer. If your a fan of Seth Rogan and the stuff he does give this one a shot. Expand

It was funny enough. Definitely had its moments, Superbad it's not but it has its own thing going on. And those kids were definitely stupidly funny. I can honestly recommend giving this film a glance... at least once.

The movie is not nearly as vulgar as is suggested, though still quite a bit. The ending of the movie comes with a fantastic message for kids and teenagers alike. Although not particularly a movie for kids, it harkened me back to the day that I was a kid through its fantastic representation of child life and struggles. The jokes are fresh and funny, along the lines of Superbad and other alike comedies. The acting is also spot on for such young actors, they've done a fantastic job for what I assume is their first movie. I would recommend this to anyone that wants both a laugh and a few heartfelt moments, in line with Seth Rogen's signature style. Expand

Definitely has some funny parts and it’s overall entertaining. It’s like wonder years meets South Park.
