PG Yes (Age 10-11 up) R Yes (Age 14 up)

I watched my first R movie when I was thirteen, The Green Mile

No. They're 2 and 3. I'd let them see a PG movie geared towards the whole family, if it was something I could stand to sit through. Nanny McPhee, for example - we love that.

I let my 14-year-old son watch almost all PG-13 movies. I also let him watch with me some "R" mainly on DVD. I tend to get informed beforehand about the content and theme of what we're going to watch.

My kids are 12, 9, 6. They have never seen a rated R movie that was not edited for television and first watched by me, and still I mute words and have them close their eyes for certain content. (I believe the only R movie edited for television they have seen is The Matrix and parts of the Blues Brothers, and during the Matrix they close their eyes for a lot of the violence... and only my two older ones have seen it) My kids will watch a PG-13 DVD only if I have watched it first, and if it requires fast forwarding during any part... they cannot watch it without me present. I make it a rule that they will not see a PG-13 movie unless I have first seen it, either at the theatre or at home on DVD. The only time this is not enforced is with my son and we both attend together at the theatre (Spiderman 2 and 3 for example). PG movies I am more leanient on with my kids seeing it without me (but usually with another adult like the parent of a friend), but I always look up information about the movie and have a good idea what the content is. We do not watch rated R movies that are not edited for television and even those I am very selective about (even for myself). Hopefully my kids adopt these values and assess what they view as proper entertainment. They should be appalled by sexual misconduct, not entertained by it. They should be disgusted by gratuitous violence and gore, not amazed by it. It's my job to instill these values into them, not the theatre, not the producers, not the organization that rates movies, and not the moral climate of the world around me.

Mine is 15 & she can watch any movie with violence but just not sex scenes

my kids are 1, 5, 9, and 7, and they all watch r movies with tons of sex and violence. They need to know what the real world is like. just last week the family movie was superbad! my kids sneak their friends over to watch r movies sometimes too. I have great values because i make those kids pay me to watch the movies. this way they learn business

I am 16 and I am always allowed to see PG-13 and almost always R.
