Takes a comical look at the ratings board and its nefarious activities in giving a film a rating.

Dick bares the graphic inconsistencies in the Hollywood ratings game, especially when it comes to the great divide between violence (bring it on) and sex (don't take it off).

If you care about the freedom of expression, including in the film industry, this documentary feature is important as a learning tool.

a head-spinning mystery, a brisk history of motion picture censorship in the U.S. and entertaining, often hilarious, visual proof of Hollywood's hypocrisy in his latest film.

A damning documentary which indicts the MPAA as a thinly-veiled arm of the handful of Hollywood studios which have come to dominate the film industry.

It makes a good case for some all-American free enterprise to come up with an alternative.

...A ringing indictment of a system that's not just broken. It's rigged and needs replacing.

...begins as an admirable attempt to understand why the MPAA's rating system is what it is, and how it evolved into the strange and niggling monster it has become.

...A very funny, frequently infuriating, and (of course) unrated exposé of the film rating board of the Motion Picture Association of America.
