Why is this movie rated R???


I thought it was a mistake, I have seen it 10 times and cannot for the life of me figure out why it has an R rating. Am I missing something?

Some of the language. They drop a few F-Bombs and other "harsh" words.

Do you think he wants some cheese?

Yeah, I heard all the F-bombs, lol, but the most recent PG-13 movie I saw was so riddled with cursing and inappropriate humor (for kids, I mean......I lmao) that I almost think I am better off with the R movies.

I just thought this was perhaps the most tame R rated movie I had ever seen. But then again, I am not really obsessive about the kids hearing bad language. They hear it and disregard it and know If I catch them talking like that, they are toast. Bad example, I know, but at least they are not shocked and correctly adults when they hear a curse word (my neice).

One viewing of Dermot's arranged meeting of the Senator and his McGlory "kin" goes far in explaining the R rating for language. Funniest part of a very funny movie.

Once the F-word has been mentioned three times, a movie is rated R. Denis Leary dropped more thN that in one phone call. However, you can say the S-word as many times as you want, and still get the PG-13.
