I would keep an 11 year old FAR away unless you want them to curse like Tupac.The kids I saw coming out were cursing like crazy,I still dont know how they got in.They were all singing the America *&#@ yeah song.

Agreed!
While the plot and some of the cheap-pop jokes were a little tiring and disappointing at times (you can tell anything Stone and Parker put their hands on - this could have easily been a 1-1/2 hour episode of South Park) the absolutely hillarious songs and excellent use of puppets made this film worth the price of a ticket!!!
In fact, the songs transcended this movie!!! I have a feeling the movie was just a tool to give the songs a proper forum...
The 1st 1/2 hour or so is so good that the rest of the movie has problems keeping up...

My only advise...if youre fiancee is a highly educated person with any class whatsoever, leave her at home or she'll ruin it for you and make you feel guilty for watching.

I had to go back and watch it a 2nd time with my dumb hockey team buddies to really enjoy the whole thing.

My Dad served in Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and several other UN tours and he loved it too...I don't understand the "un-patriotic" complaints...sometimes the truth hurts, I guess.

My favorite songs had to be the Pearl Harbor ditty..."Freedom costs a buck-o-five" was a wicked line, and of course the "America, **** Yeah!" Anthem.

I can't wait for the uncut DVD!!!

I just wanted to say that I watched it this past weekend and thought it was probably the funniest movie I have ever seen. Seriously and honestly, the funniest - not just using the expression. The sex scene and the barf scene almost made me choke/cry they were so funny. This is the first movie I have ever been to were the entire audience were laughing out loud.

Although I have to say that I laughed just as hard, if not harder, about the Matt Damon puppet. I went to the movie with my brother and now everytime we talk, one of us will always start the conversation with "Matt Damon." I am laughing thinking about it now.

This is probably none of my business, but I would sincerely and respectfully ask without judgement, from the perspective of a future father, why an 11 year old shouldn't be exposed to this film in the presence of a guardian who could discusses what he sees? (I woudldn't send him in alone).

There is a ton of cursing, but I'm sure it is a mouse fart compared to what he hears everyday on the school grounds...if anything, the puppet sex scene is worse but he probably knows more about that stuff than I do.

Wouldn't you rather be there with him than for him to hear about it and see it at a friends? Wasn't this what the "South Park" movie was about? At what age could he start to be exposed to stuff like this?

...(thinking maybe I've answered my own questions)

I miss you like Michael Bay missed the mark...

I loved the songs, they were the best part about the film.

Disclaimer -- I was in a really foul mood when I saw the film.

I still liked it. Vile beyond words. The throwing up scene alone should discourage anyone but those with the strongest constitutions. But if you like your cliche's exaggerated to the point of satire, this movie is for you. I liked the Bummer Remix of that anthemic piece to which Troy referred. That scene where everyone was...well, bummin'.

I think a lot of kids just won't get it. For example, when Wormwood (or whatever his name was) calls the main character a "renegade maverick", you won't get it unless you've seen Top Gun (and practically every other Tom Cruise movie from that era).
