Back in
May, the
British Board of Film Classifications announced that '
Driving Lessons', starring Rupert Grint, was to receive a
15 certificate, meaning that if you are below that age, you will not be permitted to see the film in cinemas in the UK. The reasons cited for this decision included "strong language".
The
Motion Picture Association of America has now
given '
Driving Lessons' a
PG-13 certificate, meaning that anyone below that anyone below that age must be accompanied by an adult, in order to see the film in the US. The reasons stated for this rating include "language, sexual content and some thematic material."
Additionally the movie will also be
shown on ITV1 as a part of the British station's autumn line-up, though no exact date has been announced yet.
UPDATE: The
Irish Film Censors Office has
announced that '
Driving Lessons' will get a
15A certificate in Ireland, meaning anyone below that age must be accompanied by an adult in order to see the movie. Interestingly, the film runs at 98 minutes in the UK, but only 87 minutes in Ireland.
'
Driving Lessons' will be released in the UK on September 8th and on October 13th in the US.
