| | Posted: | | | | I didn't want to be at the end of the other thread about the ratings, and didn't see my new questions answered when I just read it, so here it is.
I have a movie I starting doing a 3.5 audit to, and saw there was no reason for the R rating on the case. I went to filmratings.com and they just say R, no reason.
My question is : is it O.K. to fill in the info as it's pretty obvilous why the movie is rated R (nudity, language and violence)? The title in question is Reform School Girls, but I'm sure that I'll run into more like it, esp. older movies.
Should we fill these in when it's so obvilous, or just leave em blank without other sources to point to? |

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

| | Posted: | | | | I would say no since we can only speculate what the reason would have been. The MPAA began to provide brief explainations for R rated films in September 1990 while similar treatment for the other ratings followed sometime later. |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with the others... if you find nothing at the 3 places listed in the rules... leave it blank. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Even the MPAA site doesn't have reason for the R, just the R itself so I went and subbmited it without the ratings info. I can see what rdodolak is getting at with speculating too, I forget that everyone isn't as smart as me and might see things different.  While some movies are obvilous, others are subjective and opinions can escalate. I'll keep my "educated guesses" local. |
