This Film is not yet Rated

This Film is not yet Rated was an interesting and hilarious look at the film industry's rating system.  First off, the documentary itself was structured very explicitly.  There were uncensored looks at NC-17 films and use of explicit language.  The manner that this explicit content was shown in, however, was light-hearted and comical.  I felt that this was a tactic for holding the viewer's attention, and I feel that the writers pulled it off effectively.  Without the explicit content and languague the documentry may have been pretty dry.  Now, from a content standpoint, the documentary was interesting as well.  The whole "secret group" of raters was a new concept to me and the PI aspects were also interesting.  There were some dry spells through the middle of the movie but it picked back up at the end when the documentary was given to the raters for a rating request.  The fact that the movie recieved an NC-17 itself was a great way to end the film.
