is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association (MPAA) due to its content including language and smoking. According to the MPAA's rating system, a film is classified as PG-13 if it contains "violent or gory content intended for audiences younger than 13." In the case of The Boys in the Boat, the rating is due to scenes of language and smoking, which are highlighted in the MPAA's guidelines. Although the movie does not depict explicit violence or strong scenes of drug or alcohol use, it does include scenes with profanity, references to sexual intimacy, and brief moments of moderate violence, such as a fight. These elements are considered inappropriate for audiences under the age of 13 and accordingly, the film is rated PG-13 to alert parents to these potential content issues.
