How many bulls**t does it take to make a movie rated R?


There were at least 2 dozens of bullsh** i heard here and some of it is shouted and it just bothers me especially when my 9 yr daughter watches.

Why would you let your 9 year old daughter watch a movie with this subject matter? How exactly is a kid supposed to relate to a romantic comedy?

Bad parenting

It's still pg-13... as in 13 years old, so she probably shouldn't be watching it anyway. Top it off it's a romantic comedy something she shouldn't know much about.

reply

Notice how the movie's rated pg-13 and your kid is 9? Seriously, she shouldn't be watching it.

This is my signature.

PG 13 means kids under 13 should be accompanied by a parent, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to watch it.

Having said that, the OP is clearly ultra-sensitive and should know what these guildelines mean and what to expect from a PG 13 movie.

reply

That's true. And sort of part of my point, which I guess I probably should have said. I mean, the movie is PG-13 and her kid is 9. If she was worried about whether it was appropriate for her kid, personally, I think she should have watched it beforehand (as the PG-13 guideline might suggest anyway) to determine if it was something she deemed acceptable for her kid to watch.

Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.

You can say the S-word as many times as you like in a PG-13 movie without making it an R. However, you are only allowed one use of the F word, saying it twice makes it R.

ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING has two fvcks ("Don't fvck with the Lords of Hell!" "Don't fvck with the babysitter!") and it was rated PG-13.

reply

In the context of the game, it's not really offensive enough to warrant a rating effect. It was not directed at anyone maliciously.

PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned, Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13. This rating is a stronger caution for parents that content included may not be appropriate for children under 13 (pre-teen ages). This may include stronger language, extended violence or sexual situations and drug-use.
