If that was an attempt to lure Anthony back, then sorry but I have an answer. If you just wanted an answer, here ya go: Chris said they were completely surprised by the PG-13 rating. They were not trying to make it PG-13 and had assumed it would be R. They were shocked when MPAA didn't give it an R rating. So he didn't change anything in the hopes of getting a PG-13 rating. Um, well - it wasn't exactly an attempt to lure him back, per say, since we all know he still reads up. I have just been seriously wondering about it, and kept meaning to ask. I don't buy the answer you said...the film business doesn't exactly work like that - He would not have limited the number of times they curse in the film for example, if he was expecting the R-rating. PG-13 films can get away with I believe two heavy curses, like the F word, and a few sh*ts. It doesn't seem logical that he wouldn't have known they were going to give him the PG-13. There's more violence on television shows. -- Thanks for the answer, but it
is directed towards Anthony, I'm aware he probably won't ever get to see it. Unless anyone else has a valid answer...I mean, yes, you may have read up on something where Chris said he was expecting an R-rating, but I think that's basically BS.
