Bow Tie Cinemas voluntarily supports,
endorses and enforces the movie rating standards of the Motion
Picture Association of America. This rating system can be useful as
a reliable guideline in helping moviegoers, particularly parents,
make reasonable judgments based on their individual expectations of
the degree of socially controversial content of any rated film.
The meanings of the various ratings
codes are as follows:
|
G |
General Audiences –
All Ages Admitted
This signifies that the film rated contains nothing most parents
will consider offensive for even their youngest children to see
or hear. Nudity, sex scenes, and scenes of drug use are absent;
violence is minimal; snippets of dialogue may go beyond polite
conversation but do not go beyond common everyday expressions. |
| |
|
|
PG |
Parental Guidance
Suggested – Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children
This signifies that the film rated may contain some material
parents might not like to expose to their young children -
material that will clearly need to be examined or inquired about
before children are allowed to attend the film. Explicit sex
scenes and scenes of drug use are absent; nudity, if present, is
seen only briefly, horror and violence do not exceed moderate
levels. |
| |
|
|
PG-13 |
Parents Strongly
Cautioned – Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children
Under 13
This signifies that the film rated may be inappropriate for
pre-teens. Parents should be especially careful about letting
their younger children attend. Rough or persistent violence is
absent; sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some
scenes of drug use may be seen; one use of the harsher sexually
derived words may be heard. |
| |
|
|
R |
Restricted Under 17
Requires Accompanying Parent Or Adult Guardian
This signifies that the rating board has concluded that the film
rated contains some adult material. Parents are urged to learn
more about the film before taking their children to see it. An R
may be assigned due to, among other things, a film's use of
language, theme, violence, sex or its portrayal of drug use. |
| |
|
|
NC-17 |
No One 17 And Under
Admitted
This signifies that the rating board believes that most American
parents would feel that the film is patently adult and that
children age 17 and under should not be admitted to it. The film
may contain explicit sex scenes, an accumulation of
sexually-oriented language, or scenes of excessive violence. The
NC-17 designation does not, however, signify that the rated film
is obscene or pornographic. |
