Averting commercial suicide, director Kevin Smith has won an appeal to get an R rating for his comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno. The movie was originally given a NC-17 rating, effectively prohibiting anyone under 17 from seeing the movie.

A MPAA spokesperson said the rating was revised after the group’s appeals board viewed the movie.

The film, set to open this October, has longtime platonic friends Zack and Miri solve their cash flow problems by creating an adult film together. The story picks up from there.
