content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. In effect, the PG-13 cautions parents with
more stringency than usual to give special attention to this film before they allow their 12-year
olds and younger to see it. PG-13 places larger responsibilities on parents for their children’s
movie viewing. The rating system is not a surrogate parent, nor should it be. It cannot, and should
not, insert itself in family decisions that only parents can, and should, make. Its purpose is to give
prescreening advance informational warnings, so that parents can form their own judgments. PG-
13 is designed to make these parental decisions easier for films between PG and R.
R :
(Restricted viewing) Not for children under age 17. Strong elements of sex and/or violence.
Requires Accompanying Parent Or Adult Guardian. The film definitely contains some adult
material. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about the film before they allow their
children to see it. An R-rated film may include hard language, or tough violence, or nudity within
sensual scenes, or drug abuse or other elements, or a combination of some of the above, so that
parents are counseled, in advance, to take this advisory rating very seriously. Parents must find
out more about an R-rated movie before they allow their teenagers to view it.
NC-17 :
(Restricted Viewing) Not for children under age 17 under any circumstances. Strong
sexual content.
This rating declares that this is a film that most parents will consider patently too adult for their
youngsters under 17. No children should see the film. NC-17 does not necessarily mean
“obscene or pornographic” in the oft-accepted or legal meaning of those words. The reasons for
the application of an NC-17 rating can be violence or sex or aberrational behavior or drug abuse
or any other elements which, when present, most parents would consider too strong and
therefore off-limits for viewing by their children.
X :
(Hard Core Films) Same as NC-17 rating.
