Rating?


What is this movie rated? Some places I find say it's rated PG-13, and others say it's rated R. Which is it? And whichever it is, how "graphic" is it? I want to put a request for it in at my local library, but if the rating is too high, or it is rated for certain things, they might not be able to get it in. I'm dying to see it because of Alfred Molina (one of my favorite actors!)

Thanks!

it is rated r for some sexual content. it isn't that bad. i wanted to see it because i like Naomi Watts. it is ok. Naomi Watts has sex a few times but it isn't graphic.

I have questions myself. On US cable television it was listed as PG-13. It seemed even milder than PG-13. There is no nudity, just a girl in underwear. A sex act is intimated, but only the fully clothed man's face is shown, while the deed is done hidden from view. That act is later a plot point, as is another noisy sex act in a caravan, again not shown explicitly, just backs and facial expressions of the two involved both were used for humor. It would pass US broadcast standards - I can't imagine a Library having any problem with it.

However, when i just bought the dvd, it was listed by the seller as R rated. I have a fear it was caught in the made for England, not intended for the US, trap that has caused other films to get an R rating in the US that wouldn't have if they had been released by a major US studio.
