Film's rating is misleading

Jeff Vice's review of the new Stallone movie, "Rocky Balboa," notes that it is rated PG (Dec. 20). Yet parenthetically, this PG rating is described as containing "violence, profanity, vulgarity, brief gore, racial epithets, brief drugs." This is something I have no intention of viewing regardless of its rating. The movie sounds like it deserves an R rating to me. Oh, wait — the movie must have no sex — that would have earned it an R rating!
