"My "Uh-oh" would be to the fact that I don't think an R rated movie was appropriate material for a High School tournament. Of course, by saying this, I've started another debate."

The particular question did not mention any details of the movie itself, and instead restricted attention to the vicious critical drubbing the movie received--all of which is freely available in "mainstream" media and the Internet. I just thought that the vehemence and brilliance of some of the putdowns was so outlandish that it was worthy of a question; frankly, the ratings aspect didn't enter into my consideration, because I wasn't relying on the movie itself. I agree that going into lurid detail about the shenanigans and repulsions of an R-rated movie is probably not a good idea at the high school level. At the same time, I think it is perfectly legitimate to ask questions about such "off-color" material, if it's done in a way that doesn't emphasize the content of the movie. --AEI P.S.

Answer: Freddy Got Fingered
