Research:Film Classification - '12' Certificate

12A
12 rated films mean that the audience has to be over 12 to be able to watch it, or they can be accompanied by an adult. These films are a step up from 'PG's' as they can include blood and they are allowed mild swearing. These are the borderline of adult films, as they are the start of getting into more serious topics.

Consumer Advice
Cinema only. Introduced in 2002. Films under this category are considered to be unsuitable for very young people. Those aged under 12 years are only admitted if accompanied by an adult, aged at least 18 years, at all times during the motion picture. However, it is generally not recommended that children under 12 years should watch the film. Films under this category can contain mature themes, discrimination, soft drugs, infrequent strong language and moderate violence, sex references and nudity. Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed. Sexual violence may be implied or briefly indicated.

Examples
Red 2
Iron Man 3
Pacific Rim

12
Consumer Advice
Home media only since 2002. 12A-rated films are usually given a 12 certificate for the VHS/DVD version unless extra material has been added that requires a higher rating. Nobody younger than 12 can rent or buy a 12-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game. The content guidelines are identical to those used for the 12A certificate.

Examples
Les Miserables
