Man, you gotta love the 80's - this PG-13 comedy would be so R now

EDIT:
Scratch that. Nowadays, somebody would call the script racist and it would never see the light of day.

Still, a big shout out to whichever ratings board decided to rate this as appropriate for young teens.

My original misinformed title and first post for this topic:

Man, you gotta love the 80's - an R rated comedy and it's not vulgar

The profanities are used in a realistic and fitting manner and add to the "fun but not buffoonish" atmosphere of the movie. Current comedies just don't get that having f bombs in every sentence three times, doesn't make them funny, edgy or closer to a realistic conversation.

Actually, this is rated PG-13.

Really? Damn. :)
Guess I should have checked that, before announcing my ignorance to the world. :)
Can't believe this is PG-13... Wow... 80's rating's boards, bless you. :)
