Last week, writer/director Kevin Smith stated that the Motion Picture Association of America had given his upcoming comedy Yoga Hosers an R-rating, although he specifically made the film with a PG-13 rating in mind. This is not the first time that Smith had disagreed with a decision from the MPAA’s ratings board about one of his films and he announced his intentions to appeal their decision.
