Best Answer

Kids under 17 can see an R-rated movie, as long as a parent or guardian buys the ticket and sees the movie with them.

Also, lots of movie theatres don't bother to ask teenagers for proof of age before selling them a ticket, or letting them into the theatre. A lot of them just don't care. I started going to R-rated movies without my parents when I was 13. I only ever got "carded" once. I was with two friends, a girl and a boy, and the boy just flashed his work ID from the internship job he had at the time. And they let us in. The ID didn't even have a birthdate on it. The usher didn't even look at it, really. We were 16 at the time.
