Unrated Version

Marketing ploy? Excessive nudity? Midnight Cowboy? What exactly does the Unrated Version entail?

Hollywood has come up with a new way to fool consumers into dropping millions of dollars into DVD's that are basically the same as the theatrical version. This ruse is aptly named the Unrated Version. Any movie can be given this nomenclature, but few are worthy enough to be put to the test. The laymen's definition for Unrated Version is "any version of a said movie that is not screened before a liscenced MPAA board." This could be anything. They could make "The Lion King" Unrated. This could include a scene with Scar (Voice of Jeremy Irons) talking about the fact that he is Welsh. That is all it takes. A scene that was not shown in theaters and not approved by the MPAA becomes the Unrated Version. I was conveniently screwed by this when I rented the unrated version of "The Girl Next Door". I assumed that unrated version meant Elisha Cuthbert got naked. This was so far from the truth and instead I was treated to a Timothy Oliphant ass scene.

In conclusion, rent American Pie 4:Back to Band Camp:Unrated.

I wish I were
kidding.
