A classic film, The Big Lebowski (1998) is like a goldmine of things that aren't gold, except for one of the things in there which is the movie in it's entirity. Instantly noticable when watched is the common-place use of vulgar language, the steady flow of booze and pot, and a thick web of sexual references and themes.
A paper once asked me, "Does TBL deserve a 14A rating? If so, Why?". This is my response.
First let's tend to the language in the movie. Obviously most guardians wouldn't want their teen to be exposed to consistent and common use of foul four letter words. For that reason alone, I think that the film is worthy of a 14A rating.
Sex, Drugs, and Alcohol.. and bowling. Most parents and guardians , again, would probably not want their young teen exposed and admiring the sort of lifestyle that Jeff Lebowski and his homeskillets live. With teen sexual activity and substance abuse beginning at ever-younger ages, it's probably a smart idea to keep this content to teens at least in grade 10.
