'Perks of Being a Wallflower' Receives 'R' Rating from MPAA; Intends to Lower

Good news! The MPAA has rated Perks of Being a Wallflower! What does this mean, exactly? It means that the film is in some type of presentable form, and a release date is sure to be announced soon and hopefully the aforementioned date is sometime soon!

Bad news! The MPAA has rated Perks of Being a Wallflower! What does this mean, exactly? Well, the Motion Picture Association of America gave the film an 'R' rating, meaning that many of the novel's readers, as well as fans of Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Nina Dobrev, would not be able to go see the film, at least not without an attendee at least seventeen-years-old. Many parents would be turned off to a film such as Wallflower, so that possibility is almost mitigated. Summit Entertainment hopes to lower the rating, as author Stephen Chbosky's desire for the film's rating was (and is) PG-13.
