Ratings |
| |
 |
General
Audience. All ages admitted. This signifies that the film rated
contains nothing most parents will consider offensive for even their
youngest children to see or hear. Nudity, sex scenes, and scenes of
drug use are absent; violence is minimal; snippets of dialogue may
go beyond polite conversation but do not go beyond common everyday
expressions. |
| |
 |
Parental
Guidance Suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.
This signifies that the film rated may contain some material parents
might not like to expose to their young children - material that will
clearly need to be examined or inquired about before children are
allowed to attend the film. Explicit sex scenes and scenes of drug
use are absent; nudity, if present, is seen only briefly, horror and
violence do not exceed moderate levels. |
| |
 |
Parents
Strongly Cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children
under 13. This signifies that the film rated may be inappropriate
for pre-teens. Parents should be especially careful about letting
their younger children attend. Rough or persistent violence is absent;
sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some scenes of drug
use may be seen; one use of the harsher sexually derived words may
be heard. |

 |
Restricted-Under
17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian (age varies in some
locations). This signifies that the rating board has concluded that
the film rated contains some adult material. Parents are urged to
learn more about the film before taking their children to see it.
An R may be assigned due to, among other things, a film's use of language,
theme, violence, sex or its portrayal of drug use. |
| |
 |
No
One 17 and Under Admitted. This signifies that the rating board
believes that most American parents would feel that the film is patently
adult and that children age 17 and under should not be admitted to
it. The film may contain explicit sex scenes, an accumulation of sexually-oriented
language, or scenes of excessive violence. The NC-17 designation does
not, however, signify that the rated film is obscene or pornographic. |
