Why Is Saving Silverman Rated PG-13?
The violence and sex in this movie are intended to generate comedy, and the characters realize few consequences for their actions and decisions. If you’ve seen this movie, try to list the realistic repercussions of some of the situations depicted in this movie. For example, what prediction would you make for someone thrown out of a second-storey window? (You may need a large piece of paper!)
The Kaiser Foundation has released a study about the amount of sex shown on television. Their data identifies portrayals that are similar to those found in theatrical movies. Check out this report on our Big Picture page.
