> I just checked IMDb- _Y Tu Mama Tambien_ was rated NC-17. Blockbuster does not carry NC-17 rated movies, and there is an R-rated cut available. Presumably the one you rented at Blockbuster was the R-rated version.

The same crap happened to me with “The Bad Lieutenant” (with Harvey Keitel).

My friend (who recommended the film) thought I was this icy jaded dude because I didn’t see the hoopla about this film. Of course I had rented the Blockbuster watered down version.

I almost never go there anymore; maybe for a kids movie. Hollywood Video gets my business.
