I can't believe The Breakfast Club is rated R.

Have you watched "The Breakfast Club" lately??

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have. And you know what's R-rated about it? Language. You know what that would get it if it were made in 2006 instead of 1986? PG-13, tops.

I dunno, there's drug and sexual themes in there too...

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

This is me still being skeptical.
Recent PG-13 movies:
Saved!
The Animal
All the Austin Powers movies

IMDB can give you another 650 more answers, too, but I think the Austin Powers movies should prove my point, ne?

Well the MPAA gives a movie an R rating if the word fuck is spoken more than a few times.

[jackofallgeeks.livejournal.com]

Aye. And so Bender's monologue about home damns the movie just by itself. But I still think that's a technicality. I mean, Austin Powers is raunchier and more sexual by far, but they know the rules so they can play around the penalties.
