Its official: the MPAA rating board has given Paramount Pictures' TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE an R rating. Previously cuts of the film were receiving the NC-17 rating. The all-marionette political and action film satire will launch in 800 theaters on Oct. 9 and widen on Oct. 15.
The film will be rated R for "graphic, crude & sexual humor, violent images & strong language; all involving puppets." Apparently, scenes of graphic puppet sex had to be cut from the film to ensure it the R, which is part of creators Trey Parker and Matt Stones deal with the studio.
