There are a few reasons why the movie Identity Thief was rated R. Some of these reasons include the film’s graphic violence sexuality language and drug content.
One scene in particular that may have caused the film to be rated R is when the protagonist Sandy Bigelow Patterson goes on a rampage in a restaurant after he is refused service. Sandy ends up breaking a lot of dishes and glasses and throwing a chair through a window. This scene is pretty intense and may not be suitable for younger viewers.
Another scene that may have contributed to the film’s R rating is when Sandy and his wife Debbie have a heated argument in their hotel room. The argument turns physical and Debbie ends up getting thrown against a wall. This scene is also pretty intense and may not be suitable for younger viewers.
In addition to the violence there is also some sexuality in the film. One scene shows Sandy and Debbie in bed together although nothing too explicit is shown. There are also a few scenes where Sandy and the woman he’s impersonating Diana are shown in bed together. Again nothing too explicit is shown but there are some suggestive scenes.
There is also some language in the film that may not be suitable for younger viewers. Sandy uses a lot of profanity as well as some racial slurs. There is also a scene where Sandy pretends to be a gay man in order to get a discount on a hotel room and he uses some offensive language while doing so.
Finally there is some drug content in the film. Sandy is shown drinking alcohol on several occasions and he is also shown snorting cocaine. In one scene Sandy and Debbie are shown smoking marijuana together.
All of these elements combined are why Identity Thief was rated R.
