It feels like a fever dream. It feels like they add everything to the script and at times it feels boring and overwhelming and the first part of the film is such a cringe fest but overall I mostly enjoyed it and I might give it a second watch because there are so many references that I probably missed a whole lot of them. The lead character is hilarious and so are the time travel thru the bear, body swap between the beautiful girl and her mother (so we're bombarded with the 90s references as well). I thought I was going to watch a slasher so it was kind of a let down for me at first but it turned out to be quite a original film.

Full of everything
I'm almost 60
I'm an old fart that still loved this comedic teen scream. The acting was very good, not Oscar material, but fun and talented. And hey the kids are still young, who's to say there's not one in their future? Shanley Caswell and Spencer Locke were great and cute as buttons.
Josh Hutcherson made a likable leading man.
The movie itself was eclectic, space ships and time travel to ax welding prom queens. A little bit Scream, Animal House, and Back to the Future.
Cinematography was great as was a wonderful soundtrack.
Note: Yes brief nudity, and the other stuff you have to consider if young kids watch. However, the gore was limited and comedic. Your kids, but about 12-14 years old would be my cut-off.
Not another teen detention movie
The self-referential pop-culture meta-jokes run fast and furious in this mess of a film for the ADD adderal-adled generation. Imagine if Scott Pilgrim forcibly had his way with Heathers. Now imagine that... On drugs and you won't even come close to the ridiculous little idocracy/deconstruction of genre movie isotopes. Perhaps a few laughs are to be had scattered amongst the running time but that's only playing to the law of averages as the 'film' plays fast and loose with anything approaching a comprehend able story and thus it's scatter-shot jokes are sure to hit the bullseye at some points. Alas the ratio sadly skews to the awkward missing side, consider this an experimental hipster failure if you must, I'm more likely to think it a "Not Another Teen Movie" lamester parody.
PS: Dane Cook is awful, just throwing that out there
