The Ladykillers

A remake of the 1955 comedy, the story revolves around a Southern professor who puts together a group of thieves to rob a casino. They rent a room in an old woman's house, but soon she discovers the plot and they must kill her, a task that is more difficult than it seems. (From IMDB)

This is one of the better comedies I've seen recently. The characters are played quite well, though some are a little more silly than believable. A warning, the movie is rated R because of Marlon Wayans' profane language.

What? The language is really so bad that it needs an R rating?!

Though each character has his or her own unique style of speaking, which is one of the better aspects of this movie, Marlon is the only one whose style restricts the population that can see it. He does say "*I tried to curse and failed horribly!*" about every other sentence.

Still... swearing's not exactly something that most people getting near the end of primary school don't do all the time... I can't see swearing causing a movie to get rated higher than M, let alone R...

In America, our rating system goes:
G
PG
PG-13
R
NC-17
X

Swearing is rare in PG-13 movies.

Ah. That would explain it.

Aust:

C (Children)
G (General)
PG (Parental Guidance Recommended)
M (Mature (15+) Recommended)
MA (Mature (15+))
R (Restricted (18+)
I believe that we have X ratings, but I don't know them...

NC-17 a newer term used to define adult themed movied. X is for pornography. I think it is, at least. If not, ASK CHROMUS!
