Is the MPAA rating the same as the USA certification? I ask because most skins allow the display of MPAA ratings, but not all movies on imdb have mpaa ratings, but they do have a USA certification; for example:
Who Framed Roger Rabbit has only a USA certificate, no MPAA.
Whereas:
Zombieland has both MPAA and USA certification and they are both 'R'.
Is this just missing information in imdb or are they genuinely different things? At the moment when I scrape a movie such as WFRR, it shows up as unrated. I know that ember allows me to use a certification as an MPAA rating, but if I do that, I will lose all the information for movies that do have the MPAA information.
Would it be possible to have a combination where if there is no MPAA rating then it uses the USA certification instead?
Thanks!
I have ran into the same problem and its bugs me too, I'll try and look into this and see if there is a way to use one or the other depending on certain criteria.
