Laughable BBFC certificates

Rated 15 for strong language

For a film to get a 15 just for swearing is rubbish! When I was 12, I learned not to say any unfamiliar words unless it was a teacher or a children's film saying them. The violence is not huge and the BBFC would probably have rated it 12 if not for the language.

Suggested rating: 12 for strong language and moderate violence

Rated U for mild threat and infrequent mild language

This film deserves a PG certificate! It took on a darker tone than the original heartwarming classic film! The film has moments too scary for young children and very poor visual effects!

Suggested rating: PG for mild horror

Rated 15 for moderate violence

'Batman' caused controversy upon release with many suggesting it was too violent! It had gory violence but I don't really see why it got a 15! Nothing a 12 year old shouldn't be able to handle!

Suggested rating: 12 for moderate violence

Rated 15 for strong language

Like 'Argo', 'Billy Elliot' gets slapped with a 15 certificate for strong language! My points are like 'Argo' and I'm sure many 12 year old kids would love this kind of movie!

Suggested rating: 12 for moderate sex references

Rated PG for mild language and scary moments

I'm not surprised that 'Toy Story' got a PG rating but 'Cars'? I don't remember much mild language (other than 'sexy') at all and scary moments? Only very mild when Chick throws The King across the track!

Suggested rating: U for very mild language, innuendo and violence

Rated 12 for frightening moments of action and mild language

Really the only 12 rated moment is the plane crash at the start and then there's only really Chuck saying "goddamm" and wounding his hand.

Suggested rating: PG for infrequent horror, mild language and violence

Rated 12 for hard drug references, bleeped strong language and sex references

Seriously, who rated this film? A 12 certificate? Hahaha! Most inappropriate content, so Juno being eaten alive by chipmunks with rabies and stupid jokes about racism and sexism is not enough for a 15? Give me a goddamm break!

Suggested rating: 15 for racist terms and frequent crude humour

Rated 12 for moderate sex references

There's more to this movie than sexuality! There's jokes about drinking urine and biting people in the crotch! Absolutely crude and squeamish! And in a bad way!

Suggested rating: 15 for crude humour

Rated 15 for strong language, once very strong and strong bloody comic violence

Here, the 15 certificate is simply laughable! To me 3/4 of the film is pure bloody violence! The violence seems too much for a 15!

Suggested rating: 18 for frequent strong bloody comic violence

Rated 15 for infrequent strong language and moderate violence

Strong language should not earn a film a 15, infrequent especially! The violence is just a few scenes of blood really!

Suggested rating: 12 for strong language and moderate violence

Rated U for mild bad language and fantasy violence

Jodie Foster's character yells shit on a helicopter! And in a kid's movie!

Suggested rating: PG for one use of moderate language

Rated 15 for infrequent strong language and moderate sex references

Like 'Mickey Blue Eyes' (also starring Hugh Grant), a film should not be rated 15 for strong language, especially infrequent. The moderate sex references are not frequent and rated PG-13 in the USA!

Suggested rating: 12 for strong language and moderate sex references

Rated 12 for scenes of Holocaust threat and horror

The final scene of the film involving the gas chamber is way too disturbing. Most of the film would be suitable for a 12 movie but the final scene is too disturbing and frightening for a 12.

Suggested rating: 15 for strong horror and upset

Rated PG for mild innuendo and crude humour

Who thought this kind of humour could be suitable for young readers of the book? The innuendos are awful and inappropriate and the Cat, Thing 1 and Thing 2 look scary!

Suggested rating: 12 for moderate sex references and crude humour

Rated 15

Why would something like this get a 15 certificate. The BBFC haven't even given any advice! The only sex reference is Tom Hanks (without a shirt on) and Shelley Long kissing and the only innuendo is a statue which urinates in a pond! To give it a 15 is absolute manure!

Suggested rating: PG for mild innuendo and sex references
