On a side note, holy Christ! This movie got away with a lot of profanity for a PG-13. The only other PG-13 on this level that I'm aware of is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. That has 20 uses of sh!t. Or, Barbershop which has 8 s-words, but FOURTY-NINE uses of ass and 23 uses of damn. The sequel had 24 uses of ass and TWENTY ONE uses of sh!t too. -

I was most surprised by the F-bomb. Not because it's a PG-13 film (you're allowed one F-bomb by the MPAA in a PG-13 film I believe), and not because it didn't fit the moment or wasn't true to the character who used it, but mostly because it didn't fit the genre.
Super 8
is like a love letter to Spielberg's
E.T.
and
Close Encounters
, and though they have some salty language, they don't drop any F-bombs.A journey into the realm of the obscure:
