Don't know if I necessarily agree with the rating or not, but I figured it'd be a good conversation piece.

The subject matter is good and definitely something for kids to see, do you think the R rating would turn kids away? I mean, does the subject matter overshadow and push past the rating or will the rating handicap the viewers the subject is made for?

I hate it when the MPAA does things like this. They gave J. Edgar the same rating for saying cocksucker twice. They should take into account a film's actual subject matter not its language.
