Jeannie in NJ Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 my teen (age 15) dd would like to see the King's Speech with a friend (also 15). Since it is rated R (why is it rated R exactly)? will they not be able to go see it. She is now wanting to see movies with friends, not always with mom and dad.

edithcrawley Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 It is only rated R for a bit of language in a hilarious scene with Rush and Firth. Firth's character doesn't stutter when he curses. As for them being able to get in on their own, I'd suggest calling the theater and seeing what the policies are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I think you can just buy the tickets for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 There's really no *real* reason for the R rating, if you ask me. The cursing isn't even really cursing (well a bit of it at first). While it does use curse words (including the F word on a repeat basis), it's used as a speech exercise. I loved that scene, it was so well done. And you can also see the two protagonists curse through the real speech at the end, although not aloud. (thankfully!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 It depends on the theatre around here. Some will allow you to buy their tickets and then leave. Others you have to at least walk them in to where the person takes the tickets and confirm that you bought the tickets. There is one that makes the parent actually accompany them to the movie. I would call ahead and find out. I have bought tickets for my dd to see an R rated movie and gone to see a different movie myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
