movie ratings

G, PG, R

Movie ratings are classifications assigned to films indicating age-appropriate audiences.

In the United States, the MPAA system uses G, PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17 to guide parents and restrict theater attendance.

Other countries have their own systems.

Movie ratings also refer to critical scores or audience reviews: The film has strong ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.
