Motion Picture Association of America MPAA ratings G / General Audiences / All Ages Admitted
PG / Parental Guidance Suggested / Some Material May Not Be Suitable for Children
PG-13 / Parents Strongly Cautioned / Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13
A movie's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the movie is inconspicuous. R / Restricted / Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian
NC-17 / No One 17 and Under Admitted

A
G-rated movies contains nothing in theme, language, nudity, sex,
violence or other matters that would offend parents whose younger
children view the movie. No stronger words are present in G-rated
movies. Some snippets of language may go beyond polite conversation
but they are common everyday expressions. Depictions of violence
are minimal. No nudity, sex scenes or drug use are present in the
movie.
A
PG-rated movie should be investigated by parents before they let
their younger children attend. The PG rating indicates that parents
may consider some material unsuitable for their children, and parents
should make that decision. The more mature themes in some PG-rated
movies may call for parental guidance. There may be some profanity
and some depictions of violence or brief nudity. But these elements
are not deemed so intense as to require that parents be strongly
cautioned beyond the suggestion of parental guidance. There's no
drug use content in a PG-rated movie.
A
PG-13 rating is a sterner warning to parents to determine whether
their children under age 13 should view the movie, as some material
might not be suited for them. The theme of the movie by itself will
not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of
activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted
rating for the motion picture. A PG-13 movie may go beyond the PG
rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities
or other elements, but doesn't reach the restricted R category.
More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but
such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be
sexually oriented.
An
R-rated movie contains some adult material. An R-rated movie may
include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or
persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other
elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very
seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated movies
unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly
urged to find out more about R-rated movies in determining their
suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate
for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated movies.
An
NC-17 rated movie is one that most parents would consider patently
too adult for their children 17 and under. No children will be admitted.
An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior,
drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider
too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children.
An NC-17 rated movie is appropriate only for an adult audience.
