'Rory's bum' in film complaint

A FILM-goer has hit out at the high age-rating given to Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie when the only nudity in it is "Rory's bum".

Its was one of 17 complaints lodged with the Irish Film Classification Office during 2014. The complainant queried why the Mrs Brown's movie was rated 15A.

"While the 'f' word is used a lot, it's no more than in everyday Irish life and I don't remember any sex. The only bit of nudity I remember is Rory's bum and there was nothing sexy about that," the complainant said.

Meanwhile, the harrowing film 12 Years A Slave was the most complained about film during 2014, with four complaints to IFCO about it.
