Edge of Seventeen
Movie • 1998 • Comedy
ReportFrom Toni Basil to the Eurythmics, from friendship bracelets to whip-it's, the summer of 1984 was about as 80's as the 80's ever got. Stuck right in the middle of it is Eric Hunter, heading towards his senior year in Sandusky, Ohio, and passing the summer working at a local amusement park in the fast food restaurant. He is joined by his long time girl/friend Maggie, as they don their ugly brown polyester uniforms and face the world...

no alcoholism, but heavy drinking throughout, mostly underage. nearly half the film takes place in parties or bars with alcohol present, so be careful of that if this is a trigger.

it's arguable, but there is questionable consent after sex has begun. a character starts to object to an act but is talked into it. he then says it hurts but is ignored and seems extremely uncomfortable for the remainder of the scene--about ten seconds. it's at 1:18:00 if you need to skip.

At 22:00, a girl has been drinking and is slurring her words--she says she feels sick, a friend of hers walks her outside, and you can hear her vomiting. no visual at all, only audio, lasts about 10 seconds and sounds fake--coughing, mostly.

"freak" and "queer" are used as insults, about twice each, each targeted toward a queer character. two uses of "fag" by queer characters.

no trans people are misgendered, but a butch woman talks about being mistaken for a man as a joke, gender neutral use of the word "ladies", etc.

a couple of fully nude sex scenes, torsos and buttocks are fully visible but there is no full-frontal nudity. heavy kissing, and the scenes are relatively long. further general talk about sex and various sex acts.
