Explanation

The PG13 rating helps to indicate to parents that the content in the film is more suitable for an older teenage audience. This allows for informed choice. It also helps parents in supervising their young children in the selection of films. PG13 is an advisory rating. Parents exercise their discretion as to whether they would want their younger children to watch a PG13 film
