What I was pointing to in my earlier post was the fact that any rating below an R in the US is meaningless, since anyone can walk into a G, PG or PG-13 movie. Rating systems in Canada and other countries make much more sense. AvP will be rated 14A in Canada, which means that under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Many films the MPAA has rated R (including T3 and the Matrix movies) have been handed this rating, as have many PG-13 rated movies (Chronicles of Riddick, Starsky & Hutch and Scary Movie 3 come to mind). It all goes to the arbitrariness of the MPAA.
