Many thanks to all. I think I’ll rent it and fast forward to the smashy bits (which my son loves.) ---

Well, look on the bright side. You really didn’t miss that much. The movie wasn’t that great. Actually, these kids might have done you a favor. They saved you from the boredom that the movie would’ve brought you otherwise. See, doesn’t every cloud have a silver lining? 😃 ---

Not sure “ordeal by irritation” is an improvement over “crummy movie.” ---

This reminds me of when I went to see the Matrix “Re-buffed” a few weeks ago with some co-workers. One of my co-workers brought his 5 YEAR OLD daughter to the movie with us!! For those very few uninformed (he was not) - this movie was rated R and had tons of adult language and themes. I had to endure this little girl (sitting right behind me) asking question after question CONSTANTLY and LOUDLY throughout the film things like…oh…“what’s going on?” …“who’s that and why are those people white?”…“why are they floating?”…“where are they?”…“why are they fighting?”…and on and on. To say the least I was exceedingly annoyed. Get a clue people! Take responsiblity over your children! Parent, god dammit!!! BE RESPECTFUL of others!!! Jeezz… I agree with Lizard above and would take it one step further in that not only should the kids be able to sit without screaming in a movie theatre - but be mature enough to actually enjoy/handle it too. There’s a reason that something is rated “R” or “PG” or “PG-13”!!! ---

Seriously, go to the manager. A couple of loudmotuhs were ruining **Harry Pottr and the Chamber of Secrets** , so I got up, got the manager, and he tossed out the miscreants. ---

Parents interested in whether a movie is appropriate for kids should go to [http://www.screenit.com](http://www.screenit.com) for detailed content summaries. Plot spoilers abound, so beware, but it’ll give you an excellent idea of whether a given title will be too sexy, violent, or whatever for your squirmy little grubs — er, I mean, your precious darlings. Bonus: You also get to find out who in the cast gives up the cake, either beef or cheese. No Eliza Dushku jooblies in _Wrong Turn_, for example. If you’re into that sort of thing. ---

I can’t stand babies in theaters, either. Especially since the parents NEVER sit in the back where they could make a quick exit if the baby starts up- noooo, they always sit way up front (where the movie is even louder and upsets the baby more). Blockheads!:wally ---

Maybe I have bad hearing, but I’ve never been disturbed by teenagers or babies at movie theaters. Caveat 1: I rarely go out to a movie. Caveat 2: I am a teenager, so doubtless other people are annoyed by my mere presence. (This is not directed at anyone in this thread; those of you who mentioned teenagers, I know what you meant) ---

Ah, pffft. Simply EXISTING does not bother me, unless you smell pretty ripe or are in front of me and EXTREMELY tall. And you wooda had to be pretty fraggin’ tall in stadium seating to bother ME. …but it’s when you start DOING stuff while you exist that you begin to grow bothersome. Shrieking at the top of your lungs, talkin’ on your cell phone, chatting with your buds… man, whatever happened to quietly groping up your date, like I did when I was a teener?
