Children should not be seeing a movie like this. It really just proves how irresponsible parents are.

I wish there was something I could do. I wish someone would please think of the children.

Take it easy there, Maude Flanders. It's just a movie. Besides, they're gonna find a way to see it one way or another, regardless of whether or not their parents try to stop them!

I don't know... after seeing the movie... and based on what kids are exposed to nowadays and the R rated stuff we went to see as kids anyways....

I don't really see anything that inappropriate except for sex montage (and even then all we saw was Reynolds' butt, we never got to the see his girlfriend's goodies), the strip bar scene and the masturbation scene. Everything else is violence that is tamed compared to what is shown in Mortal Kombat or wordplay that will go over kids' heads.

I don't know, I remember more violence in Robocop and sex montages and strippers/nudity have been seen in stuff like the Hot Shots movies, Revenge of the Nerds, and the Beverly Hills Cop movie and whatnot and we saw all those as kids.

And how irresponsible movie theatres are.

Saw it over the weekend. Loved it.

There were a couple of kids in my showing, but what can you do..we all have different opinions of parenting.

What did catch my attention though was an older couple..senior citizens. Looked way out of place, but during the movie the woman fell asleep. The man was having a blast though, laughing his head off. He was almost as funny as the movie itself.

Sounds like a co-worker of mine, though he wouldn't have been on a date.

I saw it on Friday and people stupidity never ceases to amaze me. I wouldn't even bring my 14 year old to this.

When we walked up there was an old lady (grandma probably) buying tickets for her and a 12 year old. The guy at the window was trying to talk them out of buying the tickets and she just goes well his mom said he could see it so I said I would take him to this movie. SMH.

Btw I totally loved the movie! I'm so in for another one of these.

Like I said, we all have different opinions of parenting. It's obvious that this mother and grandmother had different opinions than us.

I don't really have a problem with parents bringing their kids.
A) they know more about their children than we do.
B) ostensibly they're the ones going to have to deal with any sort of post-movie trauma.
c) And it's not like Deadpool is really all that much more violent than a lot of the more popular video games out there.

The R rating is more for the vulgarity/sex than it is for the violence, and that's messed up. With the glaring exception of one instance the sex in that movie is enthusiastically consented to by adults.

Deadpool just passed $500M today after a strong second weekend in release in 77 markets.

Regardless of different opinions on parenting, movie theatres should not be allowing these idiotic parents to bring their children in to see an R-rated movie.

[Cure]

Whoa, chill. Growing up, I didn't know a single kid who wasn't allowed to go see R movies and everyone turned out fine. No one is idiotic for that.

From mpaa.org:

R for Restricted.

"Contains some adult material. Parents are urged to learn more about the film before taking their young children with them."

I think you're thinking about NC-17, which is for adults only.

Above lies the problem. Most parents don't know **** and are not learning more about the film before taking them.

R basically doesn't allow kids under 17 to see it, however there is PG-13 which only allows 13 years or older to see them, and you still see kids under that age seeing those films.

These ratings aren't being enforce at the theater, I don't think the theater is going to turn away a potential costumer, just cause the rating of the movie isn't for kids, it's why these ratings suggest there be a parent along.

Rated R is under 17 requires a parent or guardian. So they leave it up to the parents. Hey, if a parent thinks their kid can handle it, by all means go for it. If they're going to disrupt the movie please do not bring them, even if it's PG. I know at 13 I could have handled seeing this movie. I've never been policed with language, as long as I use it in the appropriate setting. I've been watching movies since I was a little kid, and before I was 13 I'd seen plenty of sex scenes.

That's not okay, Purse.

No confusion here. There's a certain cut off point in terms of age, surely. You wouldn't take a 6-year-old to see Deadpool. And yet, some parents have apparently.

If the kids in question are well-behaved and don't annoy other movie goers, then I guess it's okay. But don't take your screaming brat to a movie they're not legally old enough to see.

[Cure]

Hahaha, oh my God. "Legally old enough". Is someone gonna get arrested by the MPAA police? They're suggestiooons.

I know, but still. It's an extremely flawed system in desperate need of an overhaul.

*Sigh* Oh well, it won't matter once all the little kids get their grubby mits on the DVD/Blu-ray. Then they can all watch it like:
