What age can you watch a rated R movie?

Answer 1

In most states an individual needs to be at least 17 years of age for admittance into a "R" rated film. But the individual under age 17 may be admitted with an accompanying adult over the age of 21 that intends to stay for the entire film.

Answer 2

To see an R-rated movie, you must either be 17 or older, or you must have a parent or guardian with you.

To see an NC-17 movie, you must be 17 or older. It doesn't matter if you have a parent or guardian with you; no one under 17 is admitted.

R and NC-17 are the only age-restricted ratings. A child of any age can see a G, PG, or PG-13 movie alone, without a parent or guardian. PG and PG-13 mean, "Parental Guidance Suggested" and "Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested," respectively. They do NOT mean, "Parental Guidance Mandatory."

Answer 3

Usually 17,but some places don't care.If you are underage, try to buy an r rated movie and see what they say.Or get a friend who is 17+ and go with him to buy it(give him the money to buy it).Or if the movie is already out on dvd/vhs,watch it online.One good place to look it up is www.alluc.org under movies.By the way don't try self checkout if you are underage because it will beep and notify someone from the store to check if you are old enough.i'm 14 and i wanted to buy an r rated movie myself but my parents won't let me so i'm trying to find out how i could pay for it myself because i want to own the movie.Hope this helps.thank you.

Answer 4

It is my understanding that an individual must be 18 years old to purchase/rent R-rated movies in Canada, & 21 years old to do so in the USA.

The Motion Picture Association of America defines the 'R' rating as: R - Restricted. Children Under 17 Require Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian.

Answer 5

17 alone

if younger, parent or guarian must be present.

Answer 6

Any age, even below 17 as long as you have your parent or guardian's accompaniment.

17
