I'm not sure I agree with the first sentence but I'm glad to hear this if it's true. I also believe that the bar between PG and PG-13 has been lowered. AND I wish there were more movies being made that were *just* good! I'm so sick of the fraternity/sorority, sex/sicko, slice and dice, juvenile stuff I saw at my local video store last night.
