Sneaking into R Rated movies

[Hulk's iconHulk]

In the olden days this used to happen quite a bit. There are a lot of movies and tv shows where children/teens will sneak into an R rated movie.

Have you ever done this and if not what are your thoughts based on teenagers trying to sneak into movies that they aren't allowed to.

I'm sure I've done it before, but no specific moment comes to mind. I don't have any qualms against it as long as they pay for a ticket to SOME movie. I mean, eventually, the child is going to see an R-rated movie.

I used to buy a ticket for any random movie (just to get through the door) and then go see whatever I wanted. I never snuck in without paying before though.

In the days when a movie getting an "R" rating meant something, there weren't as many multiplexes showing movies.

Now, since the rating has been changed to either "NC-17" and "R", "R" doesn't mean nearly as much and most of the older films with that rating would now come back as the other. Which, many chains simply will not show. Or if they do, it is a late night showing.

My friends and I used to do this also.
