Meet Kelly McMahon, newly in charge of film ratings.
from moviegoers, filmmakers and political groups. Some critics have accused the MPAA of permitting too much violence in PG-13 movies, while being overly sensitive to sexual content. Many also see the group’s language criteria, in which more than one F-word usually earns an R, as overly rigid.
“I think I’ll be asking more questions of our raters and the process,” she said. “As great as any system is, there’s always room for improvement.” “It's a real matter of commercial significance,” said Alan Friedman, an entertainment industry attorney at Fox Rothschild who has helped studios appeal ratings and previously served as general counsel to Miramax. “Many dollars flow from getting the rating that you're trying to get.”
For an avid movie watcher, whose favorite films are “Braveheart” and “The Princess Bride,” the rating chair job was attractive to McMahon.“It’s so unique and so interesting,” she said of her new role. “You grow up with the ratings. ... That was a part of me growing up.”“It was nerve-racking at first,” she said. “You don’t want to be the sole PG when everyone else is PG-13.”
“He was very persuasive,” McMahon said. “Joan’s funny. Going in, she was like, ‘I always lose to Clint Eastwood.’”Following Eastwood’s presentation, McMahon walked the famed actor-director to his car and helped him retrieve a parking slip that he’d dropped in his vehicle.
