Would Be R-Rated Today?

Does anyone else think that if released today this movie would have been rated R instead of PG-13?

Absolutely.

Yeah. I think the R rating is a bit much though.

I guess we're too PC now! Anything remotely sexual is looked at as offensive now, unless it's done all comical or juvenile and shock value. Plus, having a toddler boys wee wee showing is considered way over the top now (eyes roll).

I don't think so. It's pretty tame compared to some of the crude humor that gets a PG-13 these days.

I don't pay much attention to ratings because I am an adult and don't have any young children.

Hard PG-13, but still PG-13.

I still think it would get a PG-13. But if its first time going thru the MPAA got an R, they would have made the necessary edits to get it down to PG-13.

It would’ve gotten PG if made in the 70s.
