The film version of The Lovely Bones, adapted from Alice Sebold's novel, earned the dubious distinction of being the most complained about movie in the U.K. last year. The British Board of Film Classification had classified it 12A, though some people "felt a scene in which the character is trapped by the killer was more suited to an 18-rated film," the Guardian reported.
Kick-Ass, Matthew Vaughn's comic book adaptation, ranked second in objections. Other films attracting complaints because of their certification included Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Toy Story 3 and The Princess and the Frog.
A number of people "seemed rather to miss the point of the certification process," the Guardian wrote. The BBFC's report noted that there were several requests that the board "should indicate whether films advertised as a comedy are funny or not," and there were complaints about noisy moviegoers, high ticket prices and obnoxious box office staff.
