Teenagers wanting to see Fifty Shades of Grey in America will have to take an open-minded adult with them - even if they were planning to attend the screening on its opening night, Valentine's Day.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has given Sam Taylor-Johnson's adaptation of EL James's raunchy romance novel an R rating, meaning that anyone under 17 will need to be accompanied by an adult.
According to Variety, this is due to the film's "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behaviour and graphic nudity”, which sounds like a fairly chaste summary of the S&M practices described in James's Shades of Grey trilogy.
In the UK, the BBFC granted the film's trailers were granted a 15 rating in 2014.
The film's studio, Universal Pictures, pushed the release date of the film back to 14 February 2015 to inspire potential cinema-goers with romance. A spokesperson said at the time that the new date was preferable to the previous, would have been in August, saying: "we want to be able to take advantage of women who are invariably on vacation with their families during the month of August in Europe."

Cicret Smart Bracelet brings a tablet to your skin
The mobile market is not immune to trends and fads, and sometimes they can run counter to established norms. At first users wanted the smallest phone on the market. In the prehistoric pre-smartphone era some phones were so small they were almost impossible to dial. Smartphones changed that trend, and initial small versions have given way to phablets. Once again, bigger has become better. Cicret looks to solve the problem for us all with the largest useable screen packed into the smallest device possible. It seems a bit counter-intuitive, but the design is genius.
The Cicret Smart Bracelet debuted on Indiegogo and just finished its round of funding. The Smart Bracelet looks like a simple bracelet but has an embedded memory card, processor, accelerometer, vibrator, USB port, Bluetooth functionality, and Wi-Fi. The most important components consist of a pico-projector and an array of 8 proximity sensors. The projector beams the screen down onto the users forearm, and the proximity sensors track fingers to allow device interaction. The video below is simply amazing.
