What does movie rating nr mean

This article was published by Michigan State University Extension. What do movie ratings mean? The rating definition—this is generally included in the lower box of the rating itself and gives a more detailed explanation of what that rating means. This is always unique to each film, but gives more details about why the film received a certain rating.

Review movie ratings critically. Start with the movie rating, but look at all parts of the rating. Look at the definitions and descriptions. Use these ratings as a guideline for your family movie viewing. Communicate your expectations. Talk about the movie. Talk about the positive content that you want to give as examples to your kids. Talk about the negative content and how it conflicts with what your family believes or values. Watch the content first.

Watching the movie before your child allows you to see firsthand what content is included and helps you develop a plan for how to talk about it with your child.

Be open. Check out viewer reviews. My parents let us watch blood and gore, and slight nudity, but nothing that leaned closer to porn. Some parents don't even want their kids to see pot smoking lol.

UR Un-rated is for movies with added scenes that theaters won't allow, that also contain penetration. XXX porn. Last edited by a moderator: Dec 29, Location: Vallejo, CA.

SBurke , Dec 29, Often not always these are pretty obscure things, sometimes films that are made for TV broadcast overseas but shown in art-house theatres here.

That's just one example. Additionally, when I go to, say, a Film Noir festival, some of the films will be rated as "NR," only because they have never been submitted to the MPAA since the ratings system went into effect. They pre-date the ratings system we know today, and have not been newly-submitted for a major re-issue or major video release. There are many routes to a film being "NR" theatrically, but many of them -- certainly not all, so use caution -- are harmless in terms of content.

Many theatres strongly resist NC bookings. Producers nearly always capitulate. The same is true for films that get an "R" rating, but he producers want a PG so they can get oryear-old boys in the door without parents. Cuts get made. The required cuts are often so miniscule as to make your head spin, i. That's typically for theatrical release. That's the marketing spin that they want you to think, at least. Often times, the changes are very minimal, and they typically don't go to showing actual penetration, referring to earlier comments in this thread.

Worse than XX? No, they lost it to the pornography market, and lost it to the point that the public at-large quickly began to associate "X" with porno.

That's not what X originally meant. It simply meant that the film contained content that that, in the view of the MPAA, was not appropriate for kids. There was no sexual expectation, per se, but that quickly emerged in the public's eyes. In later years, as producers pushed the "R" rating further and further in terms of many things, including pervasive language, pervasive sexuality nude or otherwise , etc.
