Certificate Ratings

Universal Suitablefor all ages, there is nothing unsuitable for children.




Parental Guidance - Suitablefor all ages, but certain scenes may be unsuitable for young children. It isthe board's policy that movies rated 'PG' should not disturb a child of about 8years of age or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether thecontent may upset young or more sensitive children.

12A(cinema only) - Filmsunder this category are considered to be unsuitable for very young people.Those aged under 12 years are only admitted if accompanied by an adult, aged atleast 18 years, at all times during the film.

12 - Recommendedfor 12 years and older. Nobody younger than 12 may rent or buy a '12' ratedDVD.


15 - Suitableonly for 15 years and older. Nobody younger than 15 may see a '15' film in thecinema. Nobody younger than 15 may rent or buy a '15' rated DVD (These filmsmay contain offensive or emotionally harrowing scenes or strong language andviolence).

18 - Suitableonly for adults. Nobody younger than 18 may see an '18' film in a cinema.Nobody younger than 18 may rent or buy an '18' rated video (These films maycontain extreme gore/violence and/or sexually explicit content).

Restricted18 - Tobe shown only in specially licensed cinemas, or supplied only in licensed sexshops, and to adults that are older than 18 years old. (These films containsexually explicit, pornographic content).

I think that our film would have a 15 rating. This is because there may be scenes which contain adult content and strong language which would not be suitable for a 12 year old. Our film would not be an 18 rating either as the content is not as explicit as an 18 would be.
