Movies are Rated
Movies are rated according to their suitability (sex and violence content) for certain viewers. A movie rated "G" (for General Audiences) can be seen by anyone. (This is real "family" entertainment.) A "PG" rating means anyone can be admitted, but parental guidance is suggested. "PG-13" means that some of the material may not be suitable for young children. An "R" rating means some nudity or suggested sex; children under 17 can see the movie only if accompanied by an adult. An "NC-17" rating means that no one under 17 will be admitted, even if accompanied by an adult. The rating system is not a law, but a voluntary system of controls sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners.
