Kevin Smith is walking away victorious from an appeal against having his upcoming “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” be rated NC-17 by the Motion Picture Association of America, with those younger than 17 now allowed to see the film accompanied by an adult.

Kevin Smith won an appeal to lower the rating for his forthcoming “Zack and Miri Make A Porno” comedy, distributor Weinstein Co. said on Wednesday.

The Motion Picture Association of America had initially rated the film NC-17 for “some graphic sexuality,” which means no persons under the age of 17 were allowed in theaters. This would have seriously affected the movie’s box office progress.

The raunchy comedy can now be watched by the whole family, although explaining to your 10-year-old what porn is and why exactly the title characters are busy preparing one may be a tricky parenting experience.

Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks star as two wretched yet inventive friends and roommates who, in desperate need for money, decide to create a homemade porn flick that will hopefully pull them out of debt.

The film will be released Oct. 31 with an R rating, which allows viewers under 17 to watch it if accompanied by an adult.

The MPAA’s appeals board viewed the movie on Tuesday and afterwards heard statements from Kevin Smith and Weinstein Co. attorney Alan Friedman, reports Reuters.

Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of the Weinstein Co, said in a statement that it was “a great day for Kevin Smith fans” to have the rating lowered and said the company was “grateful” for the board’s decision to change “an unwarranted and overly restrictive rating.”

Kevin Smith has previously directed “Clerks,” also R-rated, and “Jersey Girl,” rated PG-13.
