this very funny movie has a subversive streak, on the surface being a typical teenage movie surrounding predicaments with obtaining liquor and getting laid, but underneath exploring universal themes of friendship, insecurity, etc. it really is a sweet movie (the R rating seems to be for language only, with no nudity) and it's also very much a cautionary tale with regard to the consequences of underage drinking. it's definitely a classic and i'm sure we'll soon see millions of McLovin T-shirts!
