'Not Yet Rated' Takes Viewers for a Ride

By Kenneth Turan
Published September 1, 2006 at 6:00 AM EDT

A new documentary called This Film is Not Yet Rated takes aim at the MPAA rating system, and the mysterious workings of the anonymous ratings board. The film has been a hit at film festivals. But it's final rating should be "B" for boring.
