The Motion Picture Association of America is the organization that rates movies in the United States.
Ratings
G: General Audiances
PG: Parental Guidance
PG-13:Parental Guidance for those under 13
R:Restricted for children under 17 without an adult
NC-17: No children 17 or under.
Criticism
The MPAA has been criticized for its overly liberal tone towards violence in movies. Very few movies get the NC-17 rating for violence, and as a result judging the violence of an R rated film is unreliable.
