The difference between PG-13 and R in many cases is completely arbitrary.
The ratings lump many kinds of movies together and says absolutely nothing about their content.
No movie can be NC-17 or unrated because that is a kiss of death. No theaters will play it, no big box stores will sell it. I think what R can get away with has broadened considerably because of that.
which are pretty much a joke. PG is now a worthless rating
