I used to be able to get into R rated movies without being carded, but now they always card me. Dont know why. Also, I am 17, but they only allow 18 year olds to buy R rated flicks. (wait, dont the ads for these movies say that you have to be 17 years or older?).
Last night I saw "A Man Apart" and they wouldnt let me in til I got my friend's 22 year old brother to buy the ticket for me.
