‘Year One’ Cut Down to PG13

Yeah, that’s right. Â  ‘Year One’ was rated R for about a minute and a half until director Harold Ramis and producer Judd Apatow made the appropriate cuts to appease the MPAA. Â  All in all, I’d say this is a good thing. Â  It’s not like the film was going to feel like an R-rated comedy in the least anyway. Â  They may as well go for the bank and make it a little more kid-friendly.

On Tuesday, the MPAA upheld the R rating the film initally got, despite personal appeals by Apatow and Ramis. Â  At first, it seemed like the filmmakers were going to roll with the R, but, today, word came down that they had made the cuts suggested by the ratings board.

‘Year One’ comes out on June 19th.
