It really wasn't a sports movie.

What was wrong with Bend it Like Beckham besides the name which made everyone I ever told about it assume it was a porn flick?

Apparently it is "Rated PG-13 for language and sexual content." There's much much worse out there that isn't good for younger people. In that way, the MPAA isn't being much different from this review site. Completely objective criteria applied to all movies. As Roger Ebert pointed out, "2 Fast 2 Furious" is also PG-13. Which movie would you have your daughter watch, Tony?

I swear my parents and I watched a movie when I was younger that was rated PG on the box and in Leonard Maltin's book, yet contained at least 2 extensive nude scenes. I, of course, didn't mind, but my parents were a tad unpleased
