Just got back from seeing "Jersey Girl," which I do not recommend for people looking for the usual Kevin Smith fare. My local megaplex seems to have changed its policy toward minors in R-rated movies. If I'm not mistaken, they previously restricted R-rated movies, and allowed minors in R movies only if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Now, they have a notice up that children under 17 may not purchase tickets to R movies, 17-year-olds may not purchase R movie tickets for under-17-year-olds, and a person over 18 must purchase tickets to R movies for minors, but does not have to actually accompany the minor into the theater.
Guess we can't let the MPAA keep our kids from a religious experience, even if, as the sign says, it may contain scenes disturbing to some viewers. Elie wonders if this policy will still be in force when "Passion of the Christ" pulls out.
