“I want to see whatever movie is rated ‘Um holy shit.’”
~America’s movie going audiences
America likes going to see the movies. Granted, they don’t always like going to see good movies, but movies are still seen nonetheless.

That is why we are here with a handy guide to let you know what to expect when you’re watching a film of a certain rating.
