    Ratings are put on a movie for a reason. Most of the time if a movie contains sex and violence, it either adds to the movie, or is the only redeeming value of the movie. Can you imagine a movie like Boogie Nights with the sex removed? How about The Matrix with no violence?

    Dear Mormon...

    You'll be pleased to note that I have an edited version of Debbie Does Dalles the Next Generation. All sex, nudity, and foul language has been removed. The remaining plot is a heart felt tale of a mother's desire to have her daughter follow in her footsteps. The edited length is 15min and 23seconds.

    This has been viewed by Mormans in my family and has been reported as being funny, but is still not reccomended for children under age 13.
