The King's Speech

Jan 03, 2011 02:06

I saw The King's Speech a couple of days ago. Even though it had a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (with 146 reviews), it was still more interesting and entertaining than I expected.

The Ontario Film Review Board's rating system goes like this: G - PG - 14A - 18A - R
The Motion Picture Association of America's rating system goes like this: G - PG - PG-13 - R - NC-17

Here, the movie was rated PG. In the US, it received an automatic R simply for multiple uses of the word "fuck", which were used because the protagonist was frustrated about his stuttering.

Stupid.

And they're really reaching with the "Frightening/Intense Scenes" section in the IMDB parental guide.
