18 is the legal age. Never quite understood that. Anyways. Yes, all you have to have is your 'rents by you the tickets and you're home free.

ok first of all if you want to go to one alone you have to be 17 or older. if you're younger, than you have to actually be with your parents in order to be allowed in. hope i helped! ♥

I think you have to be 17 but sometimes it depends on the movie theater. I wish it worked that way!!:)

the real age to get into an R movie is 17. if you look about 17, its not like the movie theatre ppl are going to look at your birth certificate ya no? im sure u could get into one if you look around 17, but ask your parents/gaurdians first! you can also go to an R rated movie w/ someone 17 or older w/ you. tahts a definite in.

You have to be 17 but if your younger sometimes they'll let you in, sometimes you need to have a parent with you. Depends on what theatre.

17 is how old you have to be and you got to have an adult with you. if you got an adult for you then you should be alright. my boyfriend told em if you get soemone to get the tickets for you then you can get in without them checking your ID in the theaters in the mall but again this all depends on were you live, hope this helps you out.

From my past experiences, you must appear way over seventeen to be let in. Everyone was carded at the theater I attended, but things might not be run so strict where you're at. However, there's only one way to find out. But I do know that if you can not prove you are seventeen years or older, you can not have admitance into the movie - even IF you have "parental permission"..

You have to be 17 to watch an R rated movie. In some theaters, they'll allow you to see the movie if you're under 17 if you have your parents permission, but then there are some places where they HAVE to watch it with you. It really depends on the theatre, I suppose. ♥

This is one I can answer with ease and confidence. I review films for a living. I am assuming you live in the United States. If you do not pop me an inbox message. The United States has a static rating system employed by the MPAA ratings board. Here's your breakdown.

Here is your guide to how the United States movies are rated by the MPAA and they are static unlike in the U.K. and Canada with different provinces/cities having their own system.

If you see G. This means the film is open to everyone all ages. PG means you should see it with a parent. PG-13 means the film should not be seen without a parent unless 13.

NOW FOR THE R RATING YOU ASKED ABOUT. By law you must be 17-years-old to get in and ID typically is asked for and your parents cannot say "She/he can see this." They will not sell you a ticket because theaters can get fined under the code.

NC-17 means no children or anyone under 18. It contains material that borders on porn or is porn.

While you can have parents rent whatever they want for you from the videostore and you can see it movie theaters will not allow it as they can get in shit for any minor found in the theater.

I hope this helps you understand how the system works. The system is not perfect though much to my and your chagrin no doubt. R in the U.S. sigh, means children who are 14 in Canada can see that movie you don't get to until it hits video.

I wish the system reflected the fact some teens are mature enough to see the film under the age of 17 for an R rating but they do this to keep out ones who are not.

While 27-years-old a former counsellor (why I am here), Canadian, journalist and syndicated movie critic/producer/host there's not much I can do in the profession to change the rating system or make it universal for all countries. Wish I could.

I'm also a MODERATOR here under GDROB and have worked for Teen Advice Online and others in the past Someone asked for a description of myself so there it is. I also know a lot about mental health too being a consumer survivor. Anyway, back to film.

I'm not advertising but perhaps you and your friends might like my show that explains the film world to teens, and is an engaging forum on all kinds of topics not just film. Try it out [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and send me an e-mail if you have feedback, poems or whatever else to share to reeltalk@teentalknetwork.com

Thanks!

Well bring your parent with you to buy the ticket and bring a friend and have your parent go home and stuff. It works with me. o__o

devilspawn_666 answered Thursday November 3 2005, 9:39 pm:
Well, you're supposed to have to be 17 to get in without a parent present at the movie with you or telling the person who's selling the tickets that you are allowed to see the movie. The policy isn't ususally enforced very strictly, mostly because the theater just wants to make money. With some of the movies that came out for the halloween season, the theaters have been enforcing it a little more strictly. So, I would suggest that if you can pass for 17, just tell the person that you are.

You have to be at least seventeen years old to get into a rated R movie and if you aren't, a parent must be present with you.

I'm not sure about where you live, but in Alabama, you have to be seventeen (or look like you're seventeen) to get into an R rated movie without an adult with you.


If you are under seventeen, a parent must be with you. You can't bring a little slip with you that says "My child, who is under seventeen years old, is allowed to watch this movie. -- signed, Jane Doe." or whatnot. Sorry.

You have to be 17, and your parent has to be with you. Unfortunately, you can't bring a note with their signature on it. =(
