On Merdeka (yes...we did a lot of stuff on that day!) we walked to the Pavillion to watch the Zohan movie since it was the only movie that was showing on that day that has a U rating.
U rating, my foot!!! Although the swearing words and any explicit sex scenes have been snipped off, the content of the movie is far from suitable for our 6 and 8 year olds. Sexual jokes and references are made throughout - you can see the imprints of Zohan's genitals most of the time and the scene whereby Zohan would have sex with the ladies after each haircut is definitely NOT what I would like a 6 year old to witness!
I am more than aware that the movie is a slapstick and that it should be taken with a pinch of salt, but the mind of a 6 year old works very differently from ours. Even a bucket of salt is just not going to do it.
Anguished, I returned home and surfed for the movie's official rating. Funnily enough, I found out that The Motion Picture of America (MPAA) rated the movie as PG-13 for its crude and sexual content. So, what the **** is the Malaysian censor board thinking?
