‘Oldboy’, ‘Don Jon’, ‘Last Vegas’ and ‘Wizard of Oz 3D’ in Today’s MPAA Ratings
By

Lots of R-ratings in today’s bulletin with the obvious restricted rating classifications for Spike Lee‘s Oldboy remake and Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s Don Jon, which already has its own red band clip, but how about the R-rating for Last Vegas, which CBS Films plans to appeal.
In Last Vegas three old friends (Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Robert De Niro) decide to throw a Las Vegas bachelor party for the only one of them who has remained single played by Michael Douglas. Does it turn into The Hangover? Most likely no, considering the R-rating is merely “for brief sexual content.” Damn, what exactly is it?
In addition to that you have Jason Statham‘s Homefront also earning an R, the Weinstein’s opera-centric feature One Chance with a PG-13 and a PG-rating for the upcoming 3-D re-release of The Wizard of Oz.
