This is definitely true in a lot of cases, but I suspect not this one. They fought the UK certification board to bring their rating down from a 15 to a 12A (without as far as I know making any cuts), which means kids under 12 are allowed in as long as they're with an adult who'll take responsibility for their reaction to the film. Basically, 'you know your own kids, you have google, don't come complaining to us if they leave screaming/swearing/in floods of tears'.
On the other hand, that's the UK, and perhaps the R helps them in America in a way it wouldn't here. :)
Cleo: I'm glad you liked the film! I thought it was just fantastic - and though I didn't think the camera angles were bad at the time, I did notice them, which I suppose is kind of a bad thing in itself.
