Rated-R

Sometimes you watch a PG movie and see things that you would not even tell your parents about, not to mention R movies. Do you see a lot of under aged youth getting passed the ticket counter in cinemas because they want to get the extra money?

It happens all the time at the movie theaters here.  I have only seen the movie ticket seller ask for I.D.s once and it was a long time ago.  I don't even remember the movie that was playing either.  I don't know why they put the R-rating on it, because the ticket sellers sell the tickets to teens and let them in anyway.  And if they can't get the tickets, they just sneak in after the movie starts.

Is there a law about the age for R rated movies?  I always thought it was just a ratings guide to help parents determine whether it was appropriate for their children to see?  I think X rated there is a law, but I didn't think there was for R and below.  For example PG-13, I know the law doesn't prevent someone who is 11 or 12 from going, it is just to help parents decide if it is appropriate for their child.

If there is no law, then I don't see why they should check IDs.  It is not the movie theaters business to police what our children are doing.  Now if there is a law that is different, for example it is illegal to sell alcohol to anyone under 21.  Then the store has a legal obligation.

Yes, it's supposed to be no admittance without parent or guardian which is why a lot of directors will try to get a pg13 - although the line is often quite blurry

I actually checked into this with a friend of mine that works at one of the movie theaters and she told me that it's a city ordinance in the town I live in that they are supposed to id if the teen doesn't look old enough to see a rated R movie.  But the ordinance is just like some of the other city ordinances in my town.  Only if pushed will it really be enforced.

Let us not forget the availability of R rated movies at rental stores. It is very rare to see an age-restricted viewing sticker on a movie case. Kids can end up watching all sorts of content they're not mature enough to handle. All they need is access to a membership card. If the card owner hasn't placed any conditions on the account, almost anything is fair game.

Actually, PG-13 means that you have to be with someone that is older than 13 (like R means you have to be with someone that is older than 17.)

I believe that that it really doesn't matter about G through PG-13, or even some R rating, cause you can see mroe on TV these days, and there isn't any way to really monitor what you kids watch, and besides eventually they'll learn what all it is anyway..I just think some parents are a little strict these days....and most people these days experience some thing along the sexual lines, before even watching movies...so why rate them, of course thats just my opinion.
