y does office space have an 'R' rating? there is no nudity, no violence, no drugs, only a couple of swear words in the entire movie...so why the 'R' rating?

<< only a couple of swear words >>



A COUPLE?

They got an 'R' rating in the first 10 seconds they showed Samir in his car.

Oh, we can't forget the following....

"Lumberg f_cked her"
"PC Load Letter....what the f_ck does that mean?"

Among MANY others.

There's as many 'F' bombs as a gangsta rap album.

<< "fsck" Pretty much an automatic R rating I think. >>



Depends upon the use. If shouted just for an obscenity, such as if somebody gets hurt, scared, mad, ect then you can get away with one or two utterings of it and still get a PG-13 rating. When you start actually using it as a verb, or a noun, then you get into trouble. Example - Telling someone to "Go 'eff themselves" = R rating. A man telling a woman that he wants to funk her = R rating.

It's all in context.

That and the MPAA is the most retarded group of jackasses second only to the RIAA.

It's stupid. Movies are rated R so easily everywhere but here, which is good for me. :)

In Ontario, movies that are rated PG-13 or so, are all rated R. Kinda lame since all the 12-16 year old's will be watching those movies regardless. Just makes it more of a pain in the ass for nothing. Adolescants will hear those words. "Fvck" won't ruin your kids childhood.

Other than the swear words, it gets an R rating because we don't want young kids to see how horrible their futures will be. :)

We're not going to some white collar resort prison. No, no, no! We're going to federal POUND ME IN THE ASS prison!


  • So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
  • What about today? Is today the worst day of your life?
  • Yeah.
  • Wow, that's messed up!

hehe, I was just smahing the hell out of a board at work today. A co worker walks up and tell me how at past jobs he has "taken" objects that pissed him off home and shot them with his shotgun. We both walked a while and simultaneously looked at each other and asked " have you seen Office Space??"

The soundtrack alone is reason enough for an R rating! :)
