How do movies get rated?

759 views

I’m watching Monday Night Football and now seen two movie trailers that looked like Rated R, but both turned out to be PG-13. So how does the rating system work? Checklists? Focus group gut checks? This is probably easy to google but I’d like to have it eli5.

At least in America, there’s a special group of people whose job it is to provide ratings for films and trailers. It’s basically just their opinion, although there are certain conventions about what sorts of things are appropriate or inappropriate for a given rating.

MPAA… Motion Picture something something.
