I absolutely have to share this...
I was checking out the imdb reviews for "The Merchant of Venice", thinking that the subject of the original play wold definitely give way to controversy concerning the new film... but nothing prepared me to see this on top of the "Hated it" drop-down list.
Those of you registered can check it out...

for the rest of you, here it is:
"How is it a PG?, 22 April 2005
Author: joanne-97 from United Kingdom
I got this movie out under the expectation that because it was rated pg there would be no nudity, as I wanted to snuggle up with my husband. Sadly, I was let down by the rating system, as there were a few times where breasts were shown, and I don't particularly want to see naked women when I'm with my husband. I find it degrading and upsetting. We stopped watching it half-way, it ruined our evening, what a disappointment. How on earth did it pass as a PG? I would not want my children to see it. I don't want my little boy growing up thinking of women as sex objects, nor would I want my little girl believing that she is just a sex object, yet our rating system seems to completely ignore decent moral standards.
