Smith's 'Porno' faces ratings problems
Published Friday, Jun 20 2008, 21:16 BST | By Simon Reynolds

The movie, in which Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks play lifelong friends who try to solve their cash problems by making an adult film, has encountered ratings problems with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).
Rogen said: "The MPAA is gunning for us, I think. It's a really filthy movie. I hear they are having some problems getting an R rating from an NC-17 rating, which is never good."
Awarding a film an NC-17 rating - restricting it to those who are 17 and over - is usually considered a commercial kiss of death in the US.
Rogen questioned the MPAA's treatment of the film, adding: "A guy f***ing a donkey, they ain't got no problem with, but a man and a woman having sex they seem to have real issues with. It's insane. It's completely insane."
