LOS ANGELES — The Classification and Rating Appeals Board today overturned the R rating given to the movie Perks of Being a Wallflower. The Classification and Rating Administration (CARA) had assigned the movie an R rating for “teen drug and alcohol use, and some sexual references.” The film is now rated PG-13 “on appeal for mature thematic material, drug and alcohol use, sexual content including references, and a fight – all involving teens.”
In the appeal brought by Summit Entertainment, the Appeals Board heard statements on behalf of Perks of Being a Wallflower from Erik Fieg, President, Production Lionsgate Motion Picture Group and Stephen Chbosky, Director, Screenwriter and Author of the book on which the film is based. The Classification and Rating Administration was represented by Chairman Joan Graves.

Congrats to Lionsgate for getting a longer list of seemingly ‘offensive teen material’ past the MPAA.
While Bully still enjoys an R in our country while Canada allows Bully a PG.
The MPAA is such a joke.
I couldn’t agree with you more Michelle!!! MPAA makes me SICK! THEY are the BULLIES here!!!
And they can’t do the same to overturn the R rating for “BULLY”? How preposterous the MPAA have become.
great news! teen audiences will have an alternative to overhyped, non- cerebral franchises like twilight and the hunger games
good news, now will I see the movie
“on appeal for mature thematic material, drug and alcohol use, sexual content including references, and a fight – all involving teens.”
But god forbid they swear!
Four words: Thank. God. For. That.
positive energy gets positive results.

however the new rating advisory read, as a fan of the book – I’ll take it. at the very least more teens will see this film which based on comments of those who saw test screenings is just as moving as the book. And the performance of the cast esp logan lerman are reportedly topnotch. there is a book and filmic world out there aside from twilight, mortal instruments and hunger games
that good, because this movie is made for teens
Was anything cut from the R version of the movie in order to make it PG-13?
