To think that "Piss Off"should not be said in a PG film

[Lauriefairycake]

It's in "Street Dance" - said 3 or 4 times, once very loudly and aggressively.

I was mildly - I didn't expect it in a PG.

Parental guidance = watch it before you let your DC view it.

See I agree with you OP. I was also shocked that marley and me was a PG.

If PG does = watch it before you let your DC view it, then why doesn't it specify that.

I think really, the British Board of Film Censors really really need to clarify the meaning of PG so we're all quite clear about what it means.

"A ?PG? film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children".

The above quote is from the BBFC - I'm not sure I think that children of 8 should hear that language (I had a group of 11/12 year olds).

I would interpret the above statement as 'nowt to worry about if they're over 8" and thought I was safe from swearing. I would also have thought that at 4 years above the age to worry about that I didn't have to preview it.

She's not allowed to watch 12 films as even at 12 I think she's too young. So I would have previewed a 12 but it wouldn't occur to me to preview a PG.

I found this criteria.

PG - Parental Guidance
Can be viewed by all ages, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children.

Children of any age may watch a PG rated film or DVD, with or without an adult. A 'PG' film should not trouble or worry a child aged eight or older. However the PG does tell parents that the content of the film may upset younger or more sensitive children.

?Theme/Topics - Films and DVDs may be about more grown up topics such as crime, racism, bullying or violence in the home. There must be nothing which suggests these are good things.
?Language - Mild bad language only.
?Nudity - Some nudity is allowed, but not if it is linked to romantic activities.
?Sex and Relationships - Sex can be mentioned, suggested or joked about, but only discreetly.
?Violence and Threat - There can be stronger violence than at U, but without detail. Violence which takes place in a comedy, fantasy, or historical film may be treated less strictly.
?Dangerous Behaviour - There should be no detail of fighting techniques or other harmful and dangerous activities that children might easily copy.
?Weapons - There should be no focus on weapons that are realistic or easy to get hold of. Weapons should not be made to look attractive.
?Horror - Frightening scenes should not be too long or scary. Horror scenes which are part of a fantasy film may be treated less strictly.
?Drugs - There should be no mention of illegal drugs or drug taking unless completely harmless, or the film carries an anti-drug message.
?Discrimination - There can be no language or behaviour shown that would offend a person?s religion, colour, gender, sexuality or disability, unless the film or DVD teaches it to be wrong or is presented within an educational or historical context. Discrimination by a character who is seen as a hero by the audience is also unlikely to be allowed.

Is "Piss off" mild bad language then?

I feel my winceyette knickers wincing at that - clearly I'm getting old.

I would have thought "damn" was mild language

"Some nudity is allowed, but not if it is linked to romantic activities".

The couple woke up naked in bed together and then there was a further naked kissing scene where they went to bed.
