No, "Love Actually" is not rated a 12.
Understanding Movie Ratings
Movie ratings vary by country and region. The provided reference states that Love Actually is rated R in the US. This means that under-17 viewers require an accompanying adult. A "12" rating, common in some other regions, typically indicates a film suitable for viewers aged 12 and older, with potentially some mild content that may not be suitable for younger children. Therefore, the R rating and a hypothetical "12" rating are not equivalent.
- US Rating (R): Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. Contains sex, nudity, and profanity.
- Hypothetical "12" Rating: Suitable for viewers aged 12 and older, with potentially some mild content.
The discrepancy highlights the importance of checking the rating system specific to your region when determining the suitability of a film for a particular age group. The running time of Love Actually is 128 minutes, but this is unrelated to its rating.
