How Can This Be Rated PG-13 is Beyond Me

because you need to stop being irritated about showing a human beings private parts in a movie and enjoy it for what it is..are you too immature to handle seeing breasts in a movie without giggling and widening your eyes? Does that one brief part in a movie stick in your mind because you are so immature and can't get over the fact that you saw nudity? Then did you realize you are seeing a pg-13 movie? stop complaining and, also, it wasn't even explicit or shown in a sexual matter. *beep* OFF

It's up to the MPAA to decide. Their guidelines for rating are not explicitly stated.

But when did you see a full view of breasts and nipples??

Did we watch the same movie?

Because it was for about 2 seconds tops?

On the bed, on the floor, on a towel by the door, in the tub, in the car, up against the mini-bar

Yeah, not to mention all the gore. What with all the shooting and blood. I was more wondering about the rating because of the violence.

this is straight from the MPAA website A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.

Restricted. Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian.
An R-rated motion picture, in the view of the Rating Board, contains some adult material. An R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated motion pictures

as it says above an R rating can be given if the nudity is sexually oriented. if the nude scene is not sexually oriented then it can be rated PG-13
