This movie had no violence, very little profanity and only a hint of sexuality. Yet the movie was rated R. Would you please tell me why?

From the visually impaired point of view, this movie begins with lots of dialogue that's easy to follow. That's pretty rare for flicks these days. We need to enjoy it when we get it. The music was simple and not intrusive in any way. Another plus. The story moved at a reasonable pace with no abrupt jumping around except for a couple of times when the scene went back and forth between the two main characters. There were difficulties however. The male voices were difficult to differentiate. I often found myself asking my sighted assistant, "Which guy is speaking? There were a number of scenes that had three or four people talking at the same time. Very confusing. There was one segment that flashed through six or seven different dance scenes as the main characters were learning to dance together. There were no words during this medley, which would have been totally confusing without a sighted assistant.

"The Object of My Affection" is a good movie and worth seeing. I'll give this one a 6.
