Members wayout Posted August 23, 2014 Members Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hopefully there will be an appeal and the initial rating gets revised. There have been several films from what I can find that have had successful appeals, mostly related to language. It does seem that the MPAA is fairly quick to slap an R-rating on movies because of language so the link to homophobia isn't necessarily clear. Below are a couple relatively recent examples of reversals: http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2013/11/update-judi-dench-steve-coogan-win-ratings-battle-philomena/ http://www.care2.com/causes/update-mpaa-reverses-decision-on-bully-film-rating.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
