Dame Judi Dench kicks ass! When her newest movie “Philomena”, which finally opened yesterday, November 27 in South Florida, received a R rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, she resurrected her James Bond M character (see video above) to help in the appeal process. It got the R rating due to the use of the F word twice (both times in a non-sexual manner). The appeal was successful and the movie now has a PG-13 rating which is a good thing because now more people can go see it and see it they should!
“Philomena” is based on true events. When Philomena (Dench) was a young woman, she gets pregnant and taken in by nuns at a convent. She must now work her fingers to the bone, but that is okay with her since she is allowed to see her son for one hour a day. That is until the nuns sells her son to a young American couple while all she can do is scream at the gates as she watches her son being taken away. Now fifty years later, she would like to find him. A disgraced news writer, played by Steve Coogan, who was also one of the co-writers of the movie, takes an interest in her story and decides to help make this reunion happen.
