| So for the summer of 2007 the newest catch phrase is “I am McLovin” – straight from this movie. Apparently one of the best grossing movies of the summer season, this would make an interesting study for a sociology class:If we assume that films mirror the mores of society, then every parent of students from Junior high through High School should see this film; preferably not with their children.
Comparing this film to Ferris Bueler’s Day Off, Animal House, Something About Mary or even American Pie, evidences a generation gap wider than one would expect.
| Unless you are a high school boy, don’t try this one. And seriously, don’t go with your 90 year old Mom. I did and the only reason to laugh out loud was anticipating the conversation we would have going home in the car. Picture this: high school boys, trying to get their first girl into bed, obsessed with sex and alcohol and using language which turned me red even in the theater! And the whole time I’m sitting next to Mom. Yikes!
