Preview Before You Take Your Child(ren)

12.73.166.132

You learned a BIG lesson about how the movie industry gets off the hook - it's YOUR responsibility to check the movie out beforehand. Nuff said.

As far as being R instead of NC-17 (which is apparently deserves), our local (Everett, WA) movie critic explained it this way. There appears to be a different standard for comedies than these is for other film genres. Your complaint has been voiced about other films as well. For some reason the "board" considers such exhibitions more appropriate for comedy and less deserving of a NC-17 rating. Nuff said.

I do not trust Roger Ebert or most movie critics who review films from an adult perspective to inform me about the content of a movie for my children. If you are sincerely concerned about what your children are seeing, I suggest you look at ratings from a conservative movie site like the link below. The sad fact is that over 60 percent of movies released today are R rated, leaving little behind. I believe G rated is about 5 percent with the remainder PG and PG-13. In spite of making the most money on G and PG rated films, Hollywood continues to turn out stuff like this. I used to argue it was economics until I was confronted with these facts. You can interpret the data in whatever way you wish, but I prefer to believe you were on the right track to begin with.
