Latest MPAA Ratings: BULLETIN NO: 2180

By Brad Brevet

When I reported the latest MPAA ratings two weeks ago I noted Universal intended to appeal the R-rating it’s upcoming thriller Dream House earned with the reason citing “for some violence.” It was then reported last week that Universal lost that appeal and the R-rating would remain. Well, it appears director Jim Sheridan went in and did a little snipping as an edited version of the film has now received its sought for PG-13, but the reason is curious: “For violence, terror, some sexuality and brief strong language.”

I can’t help but wonder how editing a film that simply had “some violence” turns it into a film with a lighter rating but added “terror, some sexuality and brief strong language”. Can you explain that to me?

That said, here are the new MPAA ratings from BULLETIN NO: 2180.
