So, if you are say 15, but your parent (or older sibling, assuming they are over 17 or whatever consitutes as being an 'adult' over there) goes with you, you can still see the movie??? Surely not?? Here, If you are, say 16, and want to see an film that is classified as '18' then there is no way you are going to see it. In theory, anyway.

When I was in the states last year, I went to see scream3 at a cinema. I went with my sister who was 16, and would have been 17, a month later, but the girl would not let her in at all! No matter how much my sister begged, she wasn't going to budge one inch. For the record, in the cinema theater we were *3* people! That is including myself. The other 2 were a couple who were in a very mushy mood, and even disappeared for 10 mins (under the all the chairs). What they were doing under there I wouldn't like to know. > Hope that clears it up. > Thanx for the explanations Gina. It's much appreciated. It sounds very similiar to what we have here. Here, we have U (which is for anyone). PG, aswell as 12,15 and 18, which should be self-explanatory. Mr Mungo ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
