Weinstein Co. Fighting MPAA Over PHILOMENA Rating

The Weinstein co. is at battle once again with the MPAA over their decision to make the upcoming film Philomena, starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, rated R for language.  According to Harvey Weinstein in an interview with CBS This Morning, the film contains two uses of the F word, which is one too many to garner a PG-13 rating.  The film is currently being appealed and will most likely be awarded its rating simply because despite two swear words, its a film that will appeal to the entire family.

Weinstein previously fought the MPAA over ratings, getting The King’s Speech and Bully both knocked down to PG-13s.  For more information, hit the break to check out the clip from CBS as well as a teaser for an upcoming Funny or Die video featuring Dench as M.
