I've always wondered about it too

Good question. I have no idea

That would suck

If a "child" can seean R arted movie if accompanied by an adlut, then yes,; if not, then no. I was thinnking of the old X rating...

..in which case it was a definite NO. Barbara Hersheymade a film called the Baby Maker whenshe was under 18 and could not legally see it.

if accompanied by an adult then SimonFenwitch is right, a child can see an R movie
