Preteen and teen dds

The Big Bang Theory is a 7+?? Wtf?
The theme of sex is in nearly every episode at least once -- IMDb Parents' Guide: The Big Bang Theory (2007– )

Paper towns is a 7+?

(A man makes sexual comments throughout the entire movie and there is talk about a sexually transmitted disease. A teenager makes comments about how he has sex with tons of girls them. He also makes several comments about how big his genitals are -- IMDb Parents' Guide: Paper Towns (2015))

Bring It on (all or nothing) - age rating 7+
(Brittany's boyfriend says "I want to see her naked." at the dance. Brittany and her boyfriend quickly kiss. Brittany refers to herself as a virgin. Winnie says that her and Brad had sx. A man slaps Brittany on her butt. The Crenshaw Heights cheerleaders do some moves that are "illegal" because of suggestive gestures. Brad tells Brittany that he got them a room. Winnie does some suggestive dancing infront of Brad. Brad looks at his crotch and mouths profanity and then crosses his leg, supposedly concealing an erection.Brad then says that he needs a study partner for the algebra "brast". It is intented that they will have s*x. Brad asks the pizza guy if he "ever gets any action". Brittany says her breasts are uneven and her boyfriends agrees and tells his friend. -- IMDb Parents' Guide: Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006)

How is this right? What if parents don't check other sources as well??? Why would they do this?

Big Bang theory shows as a 15 on my Netflix, and Paper Towns and Bring it On are rated 12. Where are you seeing 7 for these?

implantsandaDyson · 17/02/2018 23:41

I'm getting the same info as Peachypeaches on my Netflix - both 12s

ThatsNotAKnifeThatsASpoon · 17/02/2018 23:41

Netflix ratings are meaningless. All new stuff is 5 *. The majority of it is rubbish.

(This is where €8 billion from subscriber fees is going...)

stellenbosch · 17/02/2018 23:41

UK?!

Mine are the same as everyone else

Netflix is trash these days. NOWTv is so much better

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 17/02/2018 23:48

Im UK and I got the 15 for BBT and 12 for Bring it on.

Really, Netflix is shit. They rarely put new stuff on. Even the Swedish and Brazil Netflix was better than UK.

Eliza9917 · 17/02/2018 23:51

Are you looking at the 'likes' rating rather than the age rating?

BrieAndChilli · 17/02/2018 23:54

I get age 15 for Big Bang too.

StickThatInYourPipe · 18/02/2018 00:20

Where are you getting these ages OP? I have 15 for BBT, and 12 for Bring it on and Paper Towns

StickThatInYourPipe · 18/02/2018 00:21

Oh and I’m in the UK too

stellenbosch · 18/02/2018 14:40

How can I get them to change the ratings?

BrieAndChilli · 18/02/2018 17:08

Can you take a photo of the screen with these ratings on? It’s very off that the rest of us in the UK have the correct ratings.

OnionKnight · 18/02/2018 17:11

Are you sure that you are looking at the age ratings?

Crispbutty · 18/02/2018 17:14

Big Bang comes up as 15 on mine

Not sure what the 7+ means but it's not the age rating. Their rating system goes U, ALL, PG, 12, Teen, 15, R18, Mature, Adult. According to their FAQ at least.

I believe in Asia they use 7+ as an age rating maybe you have it set up as a different country or something

VandelayIndustries · 18/02/2018 17:20

Mine is also 15

UpABitLate · 18/02/2018 17:22

OnionKnight · 18/02/2018 17:25
