Kevin Smith wins appeal, "Porno" to be rated 'R'!

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Filmmaker Kevin Smith has won an appeal to lower the adults-only NC-17 rating for his comedy "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," to an R rating.

Motion Picture Association of America spokeswoman Elizabeth Kaltman said Tuesday the rating was revised after the group's appeals board viewed the movie.

The NC-17 rating would have prohibited anyone younger than 17 from seeing the movie. With an R rating, those under 17 can see it in the company of an adult.

"Zack and Miri," due out Oct. 31 from the Weinstein Co., stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as best friends and roommates who try to make a homemade porn flick to dig themselves out of debt.
