A First Time For Everything…

Monday, February 19th, 2007

I got up and walked out of a movie on Sunday.

PG-13 can cover a whole lot of ground and I discovered that the hard way yesterday when I took my kids to see Norbit.  I like Eddie Murphy.  I liked Dr. Doolittle.  I liked The Nutty Professor movies.  I liked Daddy Day Care.  That’s what I was expecting when it came to Norbit.  The previews were clean and funny.

I was wrong.

Language was absolutely terrible, relatively explicit sexual situations and nudity within the first twenty minutes.  It was awful, just awful.  This movie should have been rated R, and whoever is in charge of rating these movies should come up with a new system, because the one currently in place isn’t worth jack diddly.

Grrr!

And it’s not even Wednesday.
