Since when have PG films had the F word in them!!????????

Just watched I`m with Lucy, some crappy PG rated rom-com with Monica Potter, David Boreanaz and Harold Ramis!! Near the end of the movie though David Boreanaz clearly says F**k. Now this doesn`t bother me, but what about parents who choose this film for their kids and they hear that - I wouldn`t be too impressed - the subtitles don`t include it but it is clear!

I was under the impression that the F word almost always results in a 15 cert. Just wondering if someone could clarify?

Cheers

R-rated in America but PG in the UK? :o

You are allowed 1 f-word in a 12, two at a push (or 3 in Terminator 3`s case :/ ).

Very strange.

Are you sure it`s an F-word? The BBFC website has it listed with no language at all. :/

I remember Hot Shots had an F-word in subtitles at the end, not quite the same though.

Yeah defo. We rewatched the scene several times. Boreanaz gets something spilt on him in a restaurant and shouts - "S***! Goddamn It! F**k!" but the subtitles only say "S***! Goddamn It"?

Just curious more than anything though.

Nope. It was an R2, distributed by momentum with BBFC logos. As i say i was just curious, that`s all!
