R rating?

Posted by 1337DanY1337

I don't understand why this was rated R... it says for language, but even the language wasn't that bad and there was like NO sexuality and no violence.... I don't get it.. Any clue?

I agree completely. It's a mystery to me.

sometimes I think that they purposefully make it an R rating through dumb things like that f-word rule because people tend to take r-rated movies more seriously... but still.. this should have been rated PG-13

Unfortunately, in Hollywood if you have X number of F words you automatically get an R. Absolutely ridiculous.

Granted that it's ludicrous, but I don't understand why Soderberg didn't take one out and get a PG-13. It's not like he didn't know the rules.
