High School Nude-ical -- Hardcore Screw-Up

Posted Oct 29th 2008 1:05PM by TMZ Staff

A bunch of parents brought their kids to see Zac Efron in his G-rated High School songfest -- they got full frontal nudity instead.

It all went down in God-fearing Utah -- where managers at a South Jordan movie house decided to move a screening of "High School Musical 3" to one of its bigger theaters at the last minute.

But here's the fun part: according to the Deseret News, someone forgot to swap out the movie reel on the projector -- which was set to show the R-Rated flick called "Sex Drive."

Suddenly, it was lights, camera, and all sorts of sexually explicit material.

The parents freaked and the movie was stopped as soon as employees could reach the stop button. No word how many people stayed to watch the rest of the movie -- not HSM, the other one.

1. Having to watch a crappy movie, even a few minutes of it is grounds to sue.

3. Just thought I'd let you know it's the Deseret News, not Desert News, TMZ. But hilarious story, nonetheless.

8. One problem I have with this story: before the feature begins, a title appears on screen announcing the film's rating (G, P-G or R). When parents of these children saw an "R", rather than the "G", what did they expect? Even if the title of the film didn't appear until later, the rating should have given them a clue as to what was up (no pun intended).

9. And I have to say it was ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS. HYSTERICAL FROM BEGINNING TO END. BRILLIANT!!! The only way I would see HSM3 is if it were court ordered. So see SEX DRIVE - you will totally love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted at 4:34PM on Oct 29th 2008 by I saw SEX DRIVE

10. I know when I went to highschool anyone dancing in the halls like that would end up without front teeth by the end of first period.

11. My daughter was 'the' manager working at the theater that night. She doesn't have anything to do with the projection room, but she was the one grabbed by the first angry mother who said, "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SAY TO MY FOUR-YEAR OLD!!!!!" Before the lady finished her sentence, my daughter had contacted the projection room with her walkie-talkie and told them to STOP THE MOVIE IN THEATER #19 IMMEDIATELY! Then she went into the God-fearing Utah theater #19 and explained the situation to the audience. When I asked her what she told them, she said, "I can't even remember ... I was too frantic!" It was a rough night for her, since four young children were also separated from their families during her shift. Poor thing.

12. Sigh...I too find this story funny, but I think the 'God fearing' part wasn't needed. Geez TMZ, can't I just enjoy a funny story without getting my religion insulted? When did having faith in something and protecting your kids become a bad thing?

13. Yeah, it's funny now, as an older adult, but as a Mom I would have been reeeeally upset if I'd taken my child into this situation. And, Manager's Mom, your girl deserves a raise!

14. Big deal. The same ones that are going to see HSM3 with there parents are going to see Sex Drive with there friends. Not a big shock. Half the little punks out there these days can teach the parents a thing or two about sex. They are far from innocent little virgins.

15. I understand the parents being upset, the movie should have been checked before playing it. Come on though, geez haven't they ever heard the saying "to err is human?" Are they going to say that they have never made a mistake while at work or slipped up at home and said something wrong in front of their kids? Well.....that's ridiculous! Get over it already! I also agree with the person who said "Did the parents not realize the rating on the movie was rated R instead of G?" I think that would be a little hard to miss!!! Maybe the parents should have been paying more attention!!! I mean if your gonna blame and be so angry at someone for making a mistake then why can't they blame you for not noticing the big fat Rated R across the screen. Furthermore suing for something like that is ridiculous! Did you notice the first comment someone posted? It said it was grounds to sue them? That is even more ridiculous!!
