Grow up Hollywood

By Ong Sor Fern

THERE are adult movies. Then there are films for adults. Just because a movie comes tagged with an R21 rating does not necessarily make it a film for adults.

That was a minor epiphany I had recently after I watched director Kevin Smith's latest movie, Zack And Miri Make A Porno.

The movie is about two childhood friends (played by Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks) who decide to make a pornographic film in order to pay off their debts. The movie was rated R21 because it contained lots of cussing, nudity and a couple of simulated sex scenes.

Read Ong Sor Fen's full story in Thursday's edition of The Straits Times.
