The MPAA. You just never know how they’re going to rate something. It really seems as if it just depends on their mood at the time of a particular viewing. The next movie to fall victim to the cinematic mood swings is Kevin Smith’s genre comedy Yoga Hosers.

The MPAA gave my kids movie Yoga Hosers an R rating for a cartoony drawing of testicles on a book cover,” writes Smith on his Instagram page. “So now, for the 4th time in my 22 year career, we will hold an appeals screening with the Motion Picture Association of America’s ratings board and try to get the R overturned for a less severe (and far more appropriate) PG-13.

Really? A cartoon nutsac is the latest thing disturbing their applecart? Check out the whole post from Smith below!

Smith is looking to tour with the film beginning in June or July with a theatrical release in August 2016, but he can’t do so without MPAA approval. The Battle of the Balls begins!

The cast for Yoga Hosers includes Harley Quinn Smith, Lily-Rose Depp, Michael Parks, Justin Long, Genesis Rodriguez, Ralph Garman, Jennifer Schwalbach, Harley Morenstein, Stan Lee, Tony Hale, Natasha Lyonne, Austin Butler, Adam Brody, Tyler Posey, Jason Mewes, and Johnny Depp.

Synopsis:
Colleen Collette and Colleen McKenzie are teenage besties from Winnipeg who love yoga and live on their smartphones. But when these sophomores get invited to a senior party by the school hottie, the Colleens accidentally uncover an ancient evil buried beneath their Canadian convenience store. They join forces with legendary man-hunter Guy Lapointe to fight for their lives.
