No producer worth their salt wants the kiss of death that would be a "G" rating. They'd have upped the rating even if it's 100 percent clean. The movie cost $250 million to make and distribute. It has now officially been declared a flop (Evan not so Mighty). The John Cusack film 1408 kicked some serious booty over the weekend.

Well, I look FOR rated G movies and hesitate on the PG.

[quote ka jowct]It sounds too silly to spend money on, especially to sit in a theatre with sticky floors (from beverages, you perverts) and yammering kids and adults.
My mother claims when she was a kid, it was so customary to whip it out and pee from your seat (you didn't want to miss any of the movie) that movie theaters had troughs and drainage in the floor. I have yet to hear confirmation of this from anyone of her generation . . . anyone else ever heard this?

How old is she? I worked at a large "old school" theater when I was in high school, and it had drains, etc., but it was so that you could easily hose it down. How else would you clean it, really? People were incredible pigs, but I never heard of anyone peeing on the floor. Chewing tobacco schpat was probably the worse. kj.

Wife & kids saw it and liked it.
Wife is pretty picky on G/PG/PG-13 and she didn't complain at all about content.
