We are going to see “Bridget” tonight. I read that students need a student ID. This is not true if she’s with her mother, right? If I say she can see the movie, she can see it, right?
We live in Ohio. She is 16.
ANSWER RIGHT AWAY!! We are leaving in about an hour.
Yes.
Yes, Restricted means anyone under 18 must be with an adult. Go, enjoy.
Thanks!!!
If the passel of 10 year-olds brought to see “American Psycho” with their parents are any positive indication :rolleyes:, then all signs point to yes.
Bridget Jones is okay for a 16 year-old. But I still don’t get parents that bring single-digit age kids to movies like “Saw.”
I’ve been to threaters (also in Ohio) that had a sign to the effect of: “Children under 18 can enter an R rated movie when accompanied by a parent until 6pm. After 6pm, no child under 18 will be permitted.”
That’s a theater policy rather than a law, I’m guessing, to keep kids out of adult movies later at night to please the adult audience.
Film ratings are not enforced by law. The theater makes its own policy regarding who will be admitted. Most theaters follow (or say they follow) the MPAA guidelines.

I’ve been in theatres that won’t let children under 5 into R rated films that start after 6pm but not 18.
Now and NC-17 ‘means’ that you can’t take your underage child no matter what.
You know that you can just call the theater for stuff like this, right? They’d probably know 
So now that your daughter’s morals are completly destroyed by letting her sensitive eyes and ears be assualted by an R rated film, did you like the movie?
That is, if you reach a human being rather than an answering machine.
I can’t remember the last time I called a movie theater and had a real live person answer.
The link below just shows what the ratings themselves say in newspaper ads, but it is pretty easy to understand.
My older son (21) took his 15 year old brother to a sneak preview of Team America (rated R) and they questioned him pretty fiercely but did let the younger kid in.
Oh yeah, call the theater, ha ha. Once I tried to order tickets that way. Besides the fact that they give you directions and say to turn left when you should turn right and also pronounce the name of the road wrong, I once got all the way to buying the ticket and had given my Visa number and it said, “that showing is full.” Then it did not go back one question to ask if I wanted another time, but went all the way back to “Do you want to buy movie tickets?”
I bought the tickets on Fandango. It was great! The girl ran the credit card through and the tickets popped out!
I loved the movie. Really didn’t see anything in it that a 16-year-old could not see. A reference to a body part of Bridget by Hugh Grant that was not nice…oh well.
I went to see Colin Firth and he was very cute and lovable when he was not being stuck up. My daugter and her friend loved it, too, and they sat right behind us. (The do not hate us, strangely enough.) Also Kittenblue went. I think she liked it, too.
Let’s face it, where Colin Firth is involved I am not very critical…
