Lenny has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises—the last day of school.

Ages 14+Source checked

Why this age? PG-13 content includes repeated crude sexual humor, forced public nudity, partying, bullying, comic violence and an accidental serious injury. Family reconciliation and friendship themes add maturity but do not offset the humor's adult tone. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
