The MPAA R rating, assigned by the Motion Picture Association of America, indicates that a film is restricted to viewers aged 17 and older. This rating suggests that the movie may contain strong language, intense violence, sexual content, or drug use, making it unsuitable for younger audiences without parental guidance. Parents are encouraged to review the film's content before allowing their children to watch an R-rated movie. The MPAA provides a brief description of the reasons for the rating, helping viewers make informed decisions about the suitability of the film for themselves or their families.
