It is THE BEST love story ever bar none. I bought it in the UK and watched it and have re watched it many times. The US rating just makes no sense at all. Although married for the past 22 years I so totally relate to the story cos I had a similar experience of falling in love with another woman so the empathy with rachels character is huge.

Anyways, this was the movie we decided on watching and it was the first movie we've been able to watch together since moving into our new house last month. It's just nice to know that it's such a great movie, regardless of the lame rating, that others had similar ideas this weekend. Don't know if it's the fall weather or we just like watching cute girls on TV or IPhones. <br /><br />Regardless, kudos on your good taste Ms. Snarker.jenn levohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07106501422995512866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-53385240673524520162010-09-21T10:05:04.419-07:002010-09-21T10:05:04.419-07:00A.)

If it weren't for having an actual adult plot (as in for and about grown-ups), I'd be hard-pressed to even rate it beyond G.<br /><br />That said, I do not share your passion for the movie. I saw it just after coming out to husband, parents, and in-laws. I was totally aghast at how lightly the movie treated the subject, after the extreme heaviness of my own experience. <br /><br />Anyway, my unwillingness to watch or purchase the movie again leaves more of it for you and its many fans, so enjoy!Making Spacehttp://makingspacethejourneyout.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-17615273908795673402010-09-20T14:58:52.655-07:002010-09-20T14:58:52.655-07:00In Australia its rated M (for Moderate Sexual Refr...In Australia its rated M (for Moderate Sexual Refrences) which is basically what any Romanitic Com gets and doesnt restrict any ages from watching it. <br /><br />I even flipped the channel a while back and found it playing on 'free to air TV as the midday movie'.

Here's another one: Would the story have seemed sweet and romantic if she had left him for another guy? I am always vaguely bothered by that feeling when I watch it. Perhaps if Hec had been more of a loser? He's a bit of a milquetoast, but he's definitely a good guy. <br /><br />Still, Piper and Lena are a much hotter couple! And I thank this film and 300 for introducing me to that sexy goddess.

It has been a sore spot for film critics and other industry people for years! It is an automatic R rating if the word "Fuck" is uttered even once period! It's the most asinine grounds for an R rating. <br /><br />Unfortunately, for the movies you mentioned it could be argued that they were given the ratings for language. <br /><br />The problem is that the system needs to be revamped but we could end up more stringent regulations which is why I think studios would rather take their chances on movies like "Iron Man" than smartly written comedies/dramas. <br /><br />In this society we accept all kinds of violence in our entertainment not just movies but TV as well but the minute there is mention of sex/love/relationships we become all discombobulated and want to hide.<br /><br />Sigh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-21122899943129737782010-09-20T08:30:15.478-07:002010-09-20T08:30:15.478-07:00Thanks for the LOVELY pictures of them in the park...Thanks for the LOVELY pictures of them in the park.
