ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

X rating

The X rating is a type of rating that is given to movies that are not appropriate for children to watch. It means that the movie has some {ahem} naughty or inappropriate content that kids should not see. It's like getting a "no kids allowed" rating. So, if you see a movie with an X rating, you should definitely not watch it if you're a kid. It's only for grown-ups.
