The BBFC commented:
This film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive a '15' classification but that the requested '12A' certificate
could be achieved by making changes to dialogue.
In particular the BBFC suggested that the company remove the line, "my thingy smells like lamb chops" when a character talks about 'multiplying with sheep';
that they remove the
line, "did you know he can put his penis in his mouth, the whole thing";
and the line "his poor rectum is absolutely pulverised, which is not usual for a sheep in this region".
When the finished version of the film was submitted these changes had been made and the film was classified '12A'.

US: The film was downrated from R to
PG-13 for crude humor, sexual references, comic violence, and brief drug material, seemingly after a small cut
The film was originally awarded an MPAA R rating for some sexual content in February 2016. Now the rating has been downgraded to PG-13.
The Director tweeted said that the MPAA had changed the rating from R to PG-13 on the eve
of his scheduled appeal screening, which was subsequently cancelled.
Smith announced his intent to appeal last week and claimed the reasoning was for a cartoony drawing of testicles on a book cover. Nothing will have to be removed from the
film, according to Smith. He did not quite say that no cuts had been made, so presumably he had somehow obscured the offending book cover.

The BBFC commented:
This film was seen for advice, prior to formal submission. The company was informed that the likely classification was 15, but that their preferred 12A could be achieved by removing a single use of the word 'motherfucker'. When the
film was submitted for formal classification, this word had been replaced and the film was classified 12A.
The BBFC commented in teh Annual Report covering 2014:
A single aggressive and directed use of motherfucker by an adult to a child, was removed.
Thanks to Pooch:
Towards the end of the film, the titular character does a TV interview, whilst being manipulated by the lady who runs the Smithsonian Institute. In the original film, after the interview spectacularly fails, she calls Spivet
You motherfucker , albeit at a distance, and from behind her, so you can't see her face/mouth!
In the UK version, motherfucker has been dubbed quite well by the same actress, or at least someone who sounds very
similar, with the immortal You melon-farmer!
If it weren't for this, and two uses of the word fuck , which were all completely unnecessary and totally jarring, this would have been a PG-rated film, ideal for
youngsters and families.
