Behind Movie Ratings: What every parent should know before heading to the theater

When parents see a movie rating, do they really understand what it means? What goes into a movie rating? Who rates the movies in the first place? In this special, Andy Farnsworth examines the movie rating process and how it can help parents best decide what movies are the most appropriate for their kids. He explores the process of rating a movie, discusses what the MPAA looks at when considering how to rate a movie, and delves into the reaction from filmmakers and studios to those ratings. He also takes a closer look at what a rating might mean for box office returns.
