The Ugly Truth gets an R rating - Here's Why

June 25th 2009 06:02
When I first heard about The Ugly Truth, I thought it was going to be your standard, run o' the mill chick flick with a solid PG-13 rating, and a generally sweet vibe.

Then I heard that it was getting an R rating, and that it contains some decidedly adult material. It is considered fairly ballsy for a romantic comedy to take an R rating, as it may alienate some of the more conservative members of its audience.

The Ugly Truth says poo on that (likely it would use stronger language than poo, actually) and goes for it. The following clip shows a bit of why exactly the film is getting the restricted rating. What do you think?

Beta Girl's take? I'll never complain about seeing Gerard Butler in some adult situations!

The trailer is only accessible if you verify that you are over 18 years of age.

Oh gosh! That was a lot to take in; once you get over the 'shock-value' it's actually pretty funny. I wonder what rating it will have in Australia? Walk in to any local pub and you'd hear language 100x worse than anything in this film hehe

I totally agree. I didn't find anything in the clip particularly objectionable, to the point where it would make me gasp because my own foul mouth generally can put the language in that clip to shame!

The only part of the clip that troubled me was what he said about pony tails...I wear my hair back a lot! Is that the message I'm sending??? LOL

The word "fuck" immediately gets you an R-rating in the States. The MPAA are notoriously prudish.

That's friggin bullcrap! It really frosts my cookies! Those MPAA buttheads are a sorry group of mother truckers!

Actually, I saw a documentary about the MPAA. Can't remember what it was called but it had these people who were trying to infiltrate the ratings board. It was interesting.

You've been peeking in my window again, eh? You forgot the super hot dust mask I wear so that I don't gag from the stench of cat poo. Me-ow!

Natalina, I was shocked as you did, when I found this film has been rated as 'R' movie! Luckily, I'm already over 18 and it won't be a problem to watch it!

Cool, Wilson! We'll have to discuss it once the film comes out. We're all grownups..we can handle it!
