Zack and Miri

After a successful appeal, Kevin Smiths next film has been awarded an 'r' classification. The film originally garnered an NC-17 rating for language and nudity.

Whilst this guarantees the film a wide release, in one sense it is a shame as this could have been an opportunity for a mainstream film distributor to attempt to overturn the stigma related to the NC-17 rating. The continued refusal of cinemas and some DVD retailers to handle NC-17 films limits filmmakers and prevents the industry from developing movies aimed at an adult audience.
