American movies are rated by the Motion Picture Association of America.

An independent board of parents (with no ties to Hollywood) watch the movies and pick a rating based on the content of the movie.

The ratings are:

G - General Audiences. All Ages Admitted.

PG - Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children.

PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13.

R - Restricted. Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian.

NC-17 - No One 17 and Under Admitted.
