Some friends asked me to buy them tickets to an R rated movie. Their parents said it's OK. The problem is, I can't go to the movie with them, and the local theater requires that someone 17 or older attends the show with the minors.

My question is, if I bought them tickets online, could they just walk right in? Think it'd work?

Peace,

Pete Zaria.

Why don't they just roll through confidently and try to get in? We seriously just buy tickets and walk right in to every movie, maybe we look older than 16..

Are the movies there really that strict? I don't think they really care unless your friends are 14 or something.

Nah they're both 16. I used to get carded at movies all the time, especially on friday nights...

But they card you at the ticket booth where you buy them, not inside the theater. So my question is, if I bought them tickets online, do you think they'd get in? I dont see any reason why not...

I'm hoping maybe I can get off work early and just go with them, lol. Is Jarhead any good?

Peace,

Pete Zaria.

Edit: BTW I wouldn't buy them tickets except I know it's OK with their parents.

No need to buy online. Just go to the booth without them and ask for however many tickets you want. They won't ask you who they are for and if they do just act like your a bit offended because its none of their business and just say they are for your friends. The problem still lies with getting them into the screen. If you can, try to avoid the people who rip your ticket in half. Once there was a massive queue for the ticket ripping in half man so me and my brother went under the rope that was supposed to keep you out and nobody even noticed.

ok it seems R means 16+ so i'll assume that,

Either take an adult or find someone there to say your an adult.

OR

if at least 1 of them is a girl then just partner with one of them and make it look like your together, you'll get in.

17+ (17 inclusive) I know because I just went to the MPAA's site to check it out. NC-17 is basically the same thing only it?s 17+ (17 exclusive) and you can?t bring people underage.

well, all what they asked me for (the rare times i actually went to see a movie) they just asked for my high school student card, which didn't even have a birthdate on it. and when I saw 14A movies, they just asked what year I was born in.

Basically, they are usually only strict on "just opening" films, after a week or two they don't really care.

then again...

Rated R means 17+ can go in without an adult.

And "adult" is considered 21+.

So in order for them to get in legally, they have go in with someone 21+.

For me, before I was of age, we never went to R movies on opening night. There's too many ushers and I.D checking to get in comfortably. We usually wait a few weeks and wait for the hype to die down. Even so, some theatres are still picky. So we have to know the environment of each theatre. If when me and my friend wanted to go to an R movie, we would goto the theatre where the staff is limited, in which I.D checking is not really necessary.

Or, you can just buy the tickets for them, and hope they don't get carded. Tell them not to shave for a few days and let the stub grow in. It adds to the age. ;)

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
