Listen, I get it. This movie is an immature and dumb comedy. However, looking back at my 6th grade self this was the mentality and social interactions of my male friends and classmates. It wasn't pretty, was dumb, overly sexualized, and crude. This movie captured that perfectly! This movie is a victim of this reality because people don't think it's right to depict 12 year old boys in this matter. There are a lot of "coming of age" stories out there but they are sanitized. The reality is the way these boys live isn't sanitized and to this day we look back and say to ourselves "that was stupid of me to do that" or "I sounded like an idiot". We can debate how boys are raised and how we can allow this to happen, but I WAS that boy and it's the way it was and I'm sure still is for boys in that part of their lives . Call it a "right of passage" or the "downfall of society", this movie is an immaturely humorous but VERY true depiction of the truth. I wish more people would see this.

Don't listen to the negative reviews on this show. People complaining about the "corporate machine" exploiting hard working people is ridiculous. These people love what they do and they are using their hard work to win $250K and a nice truck. These people don't complain even when they lose and the entire show has positive vibes. The challenges are unique and some of them are outright brutal (in a good way). This is a great show and it's a great depiction of America. If you want to watch a show about people complaining about hard work then I'm sure there's a European version being released eventually.
