The 2009 romantic comedy Bride Wars is rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).

Instead of just giving the rating, this feature anticipates the user's intent (usually determining if the movie is appropriate for a specific audience) and breaks down the content that earned the rating.

In reality, the PG-13 rating for "Bride Wars" was largely driven by some mild crude humor, brief suggestive content, and comedic action sequences. While it's not a film suitable for young children, it's certainly not explicit or gratuitous.

The plot centers on "sabotage" between two former best friends.

Rated PG for suggestive content, language, and some rude behavior.
