Why Is the Campaign Rated “R”?

Question by Donnie: Why Is The Campaign Rated “R”?
I thought the movie was going to be PG-13. What caused it to get the “R” rating? Is it nudity or excessive cursing? Thanks.

Will Ferrell looks like he will be cursing alot. And he kinda punches a baby. I know they wont show that in the commercial, but in the movie there is no doubt that they will actually show himm punching it.Looks awesome
