It’s a half-funny “Mean Girls” revenge comedy about outcasts brought together to nuke the signal event that defines the kids “who win high school,” and those they teased, taunted and tormented - senior prom. That’s a Hollywood Cali-normification of something that most of us still find coarse and not optimal parenting. It doesn’t matter how many movies and cable TV shows feature parents freely cursing, sexually teasing and taunting their kids (“Every Day,” TV’s “Divorce” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and “Big Little Lies,” for instance) you’ve seen. Take it from somebody who has written syndicated “parents guide” columns for some of the nation’s biggest newspaper wire services.
“F*&% the Prom,” the Bully Boys/Mean Girls/Meaner Gays comedy by Benny Fine isn’t pre-teen appropriate.
So no, whatever intern writes the “guidance” blurb on Netflix films. No movie with “F*&%” in its title is suitable for tweens.
