Varsity Blues

Movie · 1999

This R-rated high school football drama is packed with strong language, significant nudity, underage drinking, and sexual content that firmly puts it in grown-up territory. There are some genuine themes about pressure and identity, but they arrive wrapped in very adult material.

Older teens and adults only; this one is well outside the range for children or tweens.
