While several countries have banned or classified as an adult film the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey", 12-year-olds can free watch the film in France.
Malaysia has totally banned the movie while the Motion Picture Association of America gave it an "R" rating. The British Board of Film classification also gave it an "18", which means those under 18 will not be allowed to watch the movie.

In France, however, the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC) went a little soft in classifying the movie, giving it a film rating of "12".
A film rating of "12" means only children under the age of 12 are not allowed to watch the film adaptation of the highly-popular book.
That also means 12-year-olds can bring their popcorn and watch the movie as many times as they want, USA Today reported.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" is a 2015 American erotic romantic drama film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson with a screenplay by Kelly Marcel.
Based on E. L. James' bestselling novel, the film stars Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, a college graduate who begins a sadomasochistic relationship with young business magnate Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan).
The film premiered at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival on February 11, 2015 and will have a wide release on February 13, 2015 by Michael De Luca Productions, Trigger Street Productions, Focus Features, and Universal Pictures
Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson showed up at the Zoo Palast for the Berlin premiere of "Fifty Shades of Grey."
The gorgeous "21 Jump Street" starlet and her handsome onscreen lover both smiled for the cameras as part of the 65th Berlinale International Film Festival festivities before heading inside for the special screening.
"I'll give Jamie some credit. He can be really funny sometimes. I just have a little bit of an upper hand because I have experience in comedy. I was on a sitcom," said Dakota, adding that when she was not writhing around naked with Dornan, she was cracking up at his jokes.
