According to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the film rating NC-17 means that no children age 17 and under may attend the movie (even if the minor has adult accompaniment or parental approval.) The rating signals that the movie is appropriate only for an adult audience. The NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider too strong and, therefore, off-limits for viewing by their children.

NC-17 stands for "No children 17 or under". Therefore, no children under the age of 18 may attend this film EVEN with adult supervision due to the adult nature of the film's content including, but not limited to, extreme violence, drug abuse or sex.

The Motion Picture Association of America defines the rating as:

NC-17 - No One 17 and Under Admitted. An NC-17 rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under. No children will be admitted. NC-17 does not mean "obscene" or "pornographic" in the common or legal meaning of those words, and should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense. The rating simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience. An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children.

Yes. The NC-17 rating evolved from the X rating. The X rating was traditionally reserved only for porn movies. Eventually people realized that there were a lot of movies out there that were not porn, but were still unsuitable for young children. So the NC-17 rating was born.

NC-17 means no one under 17 admitted, even if they have a parent or guardian with them. Whereas a person under 17 can attend an R-rated movie if they have a parent or guardian with them.

R and NC-17 are the only age-restricted ratings. G means General Audiences. PG means parental guidance suggested, and PG-13 means parental guidance strongly suggested.

Contrary to popular belief, you DO NOT need a parent or guardian to see a PG-13 movie if you are under 13. PG-13, as I said, means parental guidance strongly suggested. It does NOT mean parental guidance mandatory.

Are there movies you have to be 21 to see?

Not in the United States, no. I don't know about other countries. In the States, the most restrictive rating is NC-17 (no one who is 17 or under is admitted, not even if they have a parent or guardian with them). If you're 17 or under, you can see an R-rated movie if somebody over 17 buys the ticket and sees the movie with you. But with NC-17 movies, absolutely no one 17 or younger is admitted.

How is the ratings R and NC-17 different?

The MPAA defines them as:R - Restricted. Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian. An R-rated motion picture, in the view of the Rating Board, contains some adult material. An R-rated motion picture may include adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements, so that parents are counseled to take this rating very seriously. Children under 17 are not allowed to attend R-rated motion pictures unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Parents are strongly urged to find out more about R-rated motion pictures in determining their suitability for their children. Generally, it is not appropriate for parents to bring their young children with them to R-rated motion pictures.NC-17 - No One 17 and Under Admitted.
