I just finished watching Cellular in which William H Macy delivered the immortal line "It's a day spa, you fuck!" and started thinking about how my favorite part of PG-13 movies is when they deliver the obligatory f-bomb. It seems that since they can only use it once (in a non-sexual way, of course) it is often used for delivering a climatic moment. A great, recent example would be Alec Baldwin's perfectly delivered "fuck" in The Aviator. Anybody else have some good ones?

Matthew Chmiel

Julia Roberts' use of the f-word in My Best Friend's Wedding.

And it's used sexually as well!

The kid saying "fuck" in Big. I still savor the reaction of unsuspecting adults. My Grandmother almost had a heart attack and walked out of the room...

editted to add:
I guess it is a pivitol moment, the kid freaking out on Hanks is what leads him to return to the fortune teller. I never really looked at it like that before...

DonnachaOne

Keeping up the Hanks spiel...



"KNOCK, KNOCK!"

ivelostr2

that was a quality one. I laughed thinking about it...

Mine actually comes from a PG film...."Nice fuckin' model!" *honk honk*

DonnachaOne

"Nice fuckin' model..."

EDIT: See, this is what happens when I pause to find and crop and touch up a picture.

It doesn't exactly fit the topic, but along the same lines my all-time favorite is in the movie Galaxy Quest. When Sigourney Weaver's character Gwen is faced with going through "the chompers" she clearly says "Well, fuck that!" But in post-production the line was dubbed over to say "Well, screw that!" The film ended up with a PG. For me the dub over, while still being able to clearly read her lips, made the joke even funnier.

I think the best use of the F-Word in a PG-13 rated movie would be in The American President. Not because it was a really pivotal use, but more because they got away with saying it three times. I don't know if I've ever heard it used that much in anything rathed PG-13

Already a thread on this.

My favorite is still Adventures in Babysitting.

In There's Something About MAry When Matt Dillon's character Pat Healy is spying on Mary with the spy tech stuff and the crippled guy, he looks at the camera and yells out "FUCK!" when he hears his architect scam got shot down.

edit: I just realized the thread said PG-13 movies which this is most certainly not, though it's still one of my fave f-word uses.

Two recent ones:

"There are no demigods, you fucking pagan."

and

"Go fuck yourself, San Diego."

Bandoman

How about Bruce Almighty when Jim Carey finds out that he's been passed over for the lead anchor job - "Back to you, fuckers!"

B.A.

I just saw that one again yesterday - he delivers that line perfectly.

"There are no demigods, you fucking pagan." - MDB
"Knock, Knock!" - CMIYC
"Nice Fk'n Model" - BeetleJuice

So they've all been mentioned, but they're great no less.

Was actually surprised to find Million Dollar Baby was rated PG-13 after I saw it.

Anytime Samuel Jackson or Robert Di Niro swears, it cracks me up.

DVDsAreMyLIFE

How about Dodgeball at the end where Ben Stiller says "Spare me... I won the tournament... I did... fuckin' Chuck Norris!"....that was priceless.

SomeVoices

That one was great.

Groucho

My pick for this would be the end of The Front. It took almost 30 years before that was matched (Million Dollar Baby).

Steve Martin's rant in Planes Trains and Automobiles gets honorable mention. Unfortunately, he says it enough times that the film ended up being R-rated. (Without that scene, it could have easily been a PG-rated film promoted for families).

Gots to do a search, man!

Well, here are two pages of discussion on the topic:

I'm not sure why it cracked me up so much, but the use of the f-word in Scary Movie 3 is the funniest thing in that movie. Granted, they made this one pg-13 so it wasn't neary as dirty as its predecessors.

As somebody leaves the elementary school classroom and closes the door, some kid throws an entire box of coloring pencils and shit and the lady whips around and says "Now who the fuck threw that!?" Always makes me laugh.

It's rated R, but the moment in Closer with "Now fuck off and die!" took my breath away.

Sixteen Candles (PG not PG-13)

The Infidel

Christmas Vacation: "We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tapdanced with Danny fuckin' Kaye!"
