Why is sixteen candles rated r




















Adult Written by amwolfer12 April 6, It is hilarious, but it should be PG13! Adult Written by Vikmeister February 16, Not PG! This is an awesome 80's movie.

But definitly not for kids. It has some nudity, tons of foul language and sexual reffeeences galore. Adult Written by rclark January 30, It's just the way it was. We are now disciplined , and we are told what to watch for the purpose of what the rating is today!!!! When it comes to s films or you even s films, you better get used to the idea that you're NOT going to get the same RATING you get today for whatever purpose the rating should be.

Or better yet stay away from them all together in case you don't want a surprise. Adult Written by MercyMom January 4, Not for kids! Oh my! I saw this on Netflix and thought I should show this to my teens. Luckily, I started watching it first! I am not super strict my any means but I would not want my 14 year old boy watching this.

There is extensive dialogue about sexual topics and not in any kind of healthy way. In addition there is a lingering shot of bare breasts and then a side shot of the girls whole body. That is all in the first ten minutes! I thought about telling my 19 year old daughter she should watch this but I know she would be offended by a racial and gay comment.

Definitely nostalgic for me but not one to share with your kids. Adult Written by AuburnMom January 1, DO NOT show this to any children under age Adult Written by Hchristmas December 26, Great Family Movie We loved this movie as kids and now that we're parents, we decided to watch it with our kids 6, 11, Our 6 year old wasn't really into it, but that was expected.

Our older two loved it though. ApaApparen there's a lot if prudish parents out there that think this is an inappropriate movie for kids. Maybe for their kids, I guess, but if you have mature children then this movie is perfectly fine for them.

One scene with breasts and a butt is NOT pornography. Only in America could this be considered inappropriate for children, hahaha! Anyways, great movie for the family, we highly recommend it for 10 and up! Great messages, great fun! Adult Written by Nuggetyourbusiness December 9, And then they zoom out and I see her butt too, scarred for life! Im just a sweet little 22 year old child, why must I be lied to and traumatized like this?! I want my money back! Go to Common Sense Review. There's also the incredibly creepy amorphous force known only as "the Nothing.

Nearly 40 years after its original release, Grease is still a sleepover staple, and the stage version is probably being performed this weekend at a high school near you. At its heart it's a simple story about two people who find true love once they get out of their own way and stop listening to their friends' terrible advice.

It's also a story about how, in order to get someone to like you, you have to change everything you are. That's not the best message to send to kids—and it's all the more unseemly for a PG-rated, kid-friendly movie to demonstrate that idea by ending with a previously chaste teenage girl making herself over with a leather catsuit, smoking a cigarette, and calling her boyfriend "stud" before she gyrates with him in the "Shake Shack. Heck, the crude, sexist lyrics to "Greased Lightning" alone warrant a stricter rating.

Just because a movie is given an okay-for-kids rating it doesn't mean that it's actually something they'd actually be interested in seeing. What little kid would want to sit through the original Arthur , a movie about two fairly sad middle-aged people Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli falling in love? Despite sharing a name with the beloved PBS series based on Marc Brown's books about kid aardvarks, some well-meaning parent or confused child might have popped this one in the DVD player a few times, and it's certainly not kid-friendly—it concerns an obnoxious alcoholic Moore who's literally falling down drunk throughout the movie.

Sometimes the drunkenness is played for laughs, and sometimes for tears. Speaking of which, there's one scene where Arthur is in bed with a prostitute , and she talks about how she was molested as a child. It's entirely possible that the jokes fly at such a rapid pace in Airplane!

Then again, a fairly high percentage of the movie's most memorable bits are at the very least mildy filthy. For example, flight attendant Elaine Julie Haggerty blows up the inflatable pilot Captain Oveur Peter Graves asks a little boy visiting the cockpit if he "likes gladiator movies" and if he's "ever seen a grown man naked. Watership Down is an animated movie about cute little bunnies. But it is decidedly not a movie geared toward tiny tots—the target audience for both animated movies and bunnies.

Based on the novel by Richard Adams, it's about a bunch of rabbits who, attacked by predators, must escape their warren—and find a new home while avoiding more attacks by other animals and humans. They're unsuccessful on the latter count, and the deaths of many fuzzy bunnies are depicted in bloody, gory detail. To cite a few examples : A rabbit caught in a snare coughs up blood.

Another one has its ears torn off. Yet another is shot and has a bloody bullet hole in its leg for the rest of the movie. Some other rabbits are even hit by a train. But that's all just a prelude to the extended bunny blood fiesta that serves as the film's climax, which includes one rabbit tearing the throat out of another rabbit, leaving a pulpy mess with blood pouring out of what used to be its neck.

The Wizard of Oz is one of the greatest family-friendly classics of all time. It stands to reason that its long-awaited sequel would be just as charming and kid-appropriate, but Return to Oz might as well have been a sequel to Pan's Labyrinth.

Dorothy Fairuza Balk is sent to an insane asylum for what Auntie Em thinks are delusions about the Land of Oz, and her treatment includes restraints and electroshock therapy.

When she escapes back to the Emerald City, she meets Mombi, a headless witch who rules over the land. Even the good guys in Return to Oz are creepy—particularly Jack Pumpkinhead, a guy with a But this smart exploration of adolescent life will be fun for teens and adults.

With help from a freshman super-geek Anthony Michael Hall , Jake sets his sights on Sam, but will he find her amidst her sister's wedding chaos to fulfill her birthday wish? This '80s film is a hair-raising tour of adolescence.

Sam is a girl in the throes of her first crush, and she's desperately insecure about her body. A sublimely awkward dork dogs her heels, alternately yearning for approval and crassly propositioning her. She's infatuated with a senior god and intimidated by his goddess girlfriend. Sixteen Candles doesn't raise profound issues or craft scenes of special beauty. However, this is John Hughes at his best; he captures the nuances of adolescent slang and recreates the little humiliations that can make teen life a living hell.

It's all in the details: When Sam's grandmother checks out Sam's "perky boobies" with a squeeze, you'll wonder how anyone gets through high school.

Discuss Sam's insecurity in Sixteen Candles. How could her family have eased some of the anxiety of adolescence? Discuss the stereotype of Long Duk Dong. How has that stereotype changed today?
