Latest UK Cuts: BBFC cuts and bans

From what I can gather, this new rating is wholly and soully for the film - there are no new extra features which has caused the BBFC to up the limit

"The BBFC explained the uprating from PG to 12:

The BBFC identified three issues where they felt that a 12 rating was more appropriate than a PG:

* An aggressive use of the word 'bitch'
* The negative comic stereotyping of gay characters"
