The new movie “Project  X” has been a hit in the box office but with its success there has also been a backlash due to its racy content.

“I’m not a fan of this movie or the kind of images that it projects to teenagers,” said Stacy Fischer. “First off, it’s rated ‘R’ and it urges kids to throw outrageously inappropriate parties and it promotes all kinds of teenage sexuality as well as alcohol and drug use.”

Stacy Fischer, 43, is a stay-at-home mom and recently took her daughter Mariah Fischer, 17, and some of her school friends to go see the movie.

“I thought the movie was really exciting and it kept me interested the whole time,” Mariah said.

“I thought the idea of a bunch of nerds throwing the biggest party their town has ever seen was fun, and I wish I could experience a party that epic.”

Stacy and Mariah strongly disagreed on “Project X.”

“It’s not like I didn’t know what I was getting into. I saw the previews and Mariah begged me to take her and her friends to see the movie,” Stacy said. “But while sitting through this, there were young girls acting provocatively and lots of alcohol use which I don’t think is suitable to show young teens it’s OK to act that way. I hope that my daughter would never pursue any of the things publicized in ‘Project X.’”

Although Stacy Fischer highly disagrees with the film’s intentions, there are others who like the idea of showing a movie with real-life situations.

Madelin Parks, 21, has seen “Project X” over three times since the opening weekend.

“I absolutely loved the movie and I thought, in a sense, it was realistic,” Parks said. “I know that it can come off as racy and not exactly appropriate, but a lot of what happens in the movie are real things that go on at the average college party.

“Seeing all the crazy things in the film was not shocking. Everything that the movie is showing is stuff that actually is going on in society, but everyone wants to turn the other cheek and act like it doesn’t exist.”

Parks also argues against the opinion of concerned parents such as Fischer.

“These topics are vital and it’s better that the subject of drugs and alcoholism are exposed because it’s better for our generation to know the truth and not be blinded.

Realism in movies such as this one is going to show our youth, whether they’re experienced or sheltered, that these things do happen, and it’s a definite eye-opener.”
