[HPFGU-Movie] Children in theatres

[Child Of Midian]

There was a small child at our screening of HBP last night but the parents
removed the child from the room every time it started to fuss, for which I
was very grateful. Much more considerate than the woman in front of us who
didn't turn off her cell phone!

Which is my point, it's up to the adult to control the child. However, that
said, there is no place for children in an R or 18A film and in the US
owners have the right to refuse admittance. Many theaters will not allow
children of any age into evening shows of R rated films. That said, the
first film I took my oldest daughter too was The Tiger Movie, and my oldest
sits quietly for almost anything. OTOH, my younger daughter could sit for
ten minutes for Hanna Montana (which is her favorite thing in the world
aside from shoes and purses) while the ten year old sat quiet with me in the
next theater and watched Star Trek. Either way, I expect the child to be
controlled by the parent, period. I also expect little kids in a film like
Harry Potter or Narnia, and to get excited and possibly make some noise.
They're kids after all. Of course, that said, WTF is wrong with people
bringing kids to see The Ring or The Exorcist?
