An MPAA movie rating that stands for "Restricted". Movies with an "R" rating are not allowed to be viewed by those under 17 without a parent or guardian present. Also, these movies
may contain a
great amount of or very
intense violence. Complete nudity and sex are also permitted, but they usually may not appear simultaneously (doing so would mean an
nc-17 rating). Additionally, any movie that uses the word "fuck" more than once, or any movie that uses the word "fuck" at all and refers to intercourse is automatically rated "R", regardless of other content in the movie. A fine example of this rule is the "The Castle", which would probably be rated PG if not for the profanities.
"R" is the second most severe movie rating,
one "step" above PG-13, and
one "step" below the seldom-seen
NC-17.
