A few ?'s about movie ratings . . .
| Tue, 09-21-2004 - 7:53am |
Do you pay attention to the MPAA ratings?
Do you think they are accurate? Is a movie rated PG-13 really not appropriate for kids under 13?
Do you think they should be enforced better? Should a 12 year old not be allowed into a PG-13 movie without a parent? Should a 17 year old not be allowed into a R rated movie, even if he or she is with a parent?
If you could add a rating, what would you add, and why?

Do you pay attention to the MPAA ratings?
*** No, not any more. I myself can see anything I want, and so can my dd, so it isn't an issue with me.
Do you think they are accurate? Is a movie rated PG-13 really not appropriate for kids under 13?
*** I think they have gotten more accurate since they started explaining the why of the rating (violence, language, etc). Of course they can't take into consideration the maturity of all kids, but with the clarification, at least parents can judge better what their children will be seeing.
Do you think they should be enforced better? Should a 12 year old not be allowed into a PG-13 movie without a parent? Should a 17 year old not be allowed into a R rated movie, even if he or she is with a parent?
*** Hmm... I was going to say they are fine now, but then I thought of the situation of a bunch of kids, maybe 7 to 12 years old all going to see a PG-13 movie. The older kids would probably be fine seeing it, but what about the younger ones? I think theaters should have the right to refuse to sell tickets to kids on their own, when they deem it appropriate. And if a kid is accompanied by a parent, I think they should be allowed to see any movie, even NC-17. The responsibility for the child seeing the movie is then on the parent's shoulders, not the MPAA or the theater.
If you could add a rating, what would you add?
*** I'd add a rating between PG-13 and R. or lower the PG-13 to about PG-10 and add a PG-15. That might be a more accurate rating system.

Do you pay attention to the MPAA ratings?
Yes but only for the kids.
Do you think they are accurate?
No, not really.
Just my 2 cents :o)
For DH and I were not fussy on what rating, as much as the story line for what we watch.
