*The U.S. has a voluntary system of movie ratings that helps parents prevent their children from seeing movies that are inappropriate. G is for a general audience, with all ages admitted. PG recommends parental guidance, and some material may not be suitable for children. PG-13 means "parents are strongly cautioned" and some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. R is restricted for viewers; anyone 17 years or younger requires an accompanying parent or guardian. | |
