♥ G is no sexual overtones or violence- what you would see in a Disney Movie.
♥ PG Is a few sprinkled cusswords but no F-bombs and very little sexual overtones, kissing perhaps but nothing really past that. Mild violence which would basically include fist fights or threats but not much past that.
♥ PG-13 is some sexual situations (nothing graphic) and some violence (think the stuff Spielberg puts out) and maybe one or 2 F-bombs but nothing graphic. Basically, what a 13 year old can handle without flipping their gourd.
♥ R and above is basically Quentin Tarantino/Takashi Mikke-esque movies. Very violent, very graphic, lots of harsh language, and sometimes explicit sex.
