Author Topic: Meet The Fockers + Fake Boob = PG13?? Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-24-2004 02:23 PM                     How do you think that they were able to secure a PG13 that had "nudity"? Was it because it wasn't an actual boob attached to a woman? It was only one vs. the pair? Note: I am not objecting to this at all. I'm just wondering.  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.

We've had walkouts already. Merry Christmas, Universal!  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-24-2004 06:46 PM                     While this film was funny, the PG-13 rating was definately inapproperiate!

No walkouts as of yet, but seeing as how business will start picking up again on Sunday, its certainly possible I think.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 12-25-2004 01:26 PM                    Walkouts? Jeez...people are so thin skinned.  |  IP: Logged Barry Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 203 From: Newington, CT USA Registered: Jul 2002 posted 12-25-2004 08:01 PM                        Haven't seen it yet, but in reference to the nudity, what about Titanic? That was PG-13 despite the full frontal nudity of Kate Winslet and the steamy window scene. If you ask me, ratings are bought, not given.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-25-2004 08:57 PM                        Not thin-skinned...just stupid. They think just because it's Christmas and it's a comedy that it'll be OK for the kids. The title should tell the story but some people are just too dopey to get it. (The walkouts we have had are all parents toting small kids.)  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-26-2004 11:24 PM                     Saw this today. Didn't see anything really "R" material. They never showed any real boobs (but most shots looked like a quick edit before anything was revealed). Even "Howard The Duck" had fake boobs and that was only PG. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged David Yauch Expert Film Handler Posts: 206 From: Mesa, AZ, USA Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-27-2004 03:43 AM                     We had somewhere between 10-20 walkouts for fockers. But considering we sold thousands of tickets for it that really isn't that bad.  |  IP: Logged
