Should've been made PG-13

The movie was very well done with good acting. Like most adults, we can all relate to our childhood and wanting to run away and be on our own. Heck, I almost tried it while still in 2nd grade!
If they didn't have to use the F word in every scene, This movie could've been rated PG-13 and been made available to more young people. Of course, I'm not naive and understand that there are teens are who are going to watch R rated movies anyway, but for those who are put off by the R rating (of any age), this may have only reached a smaller audience. I've been accused before (on these boards) of being a prude and I make no apology for having standards. I'm simply trying to point out that with a few simple changes, this movie might have had more viewers.
