Legally, they just need a guardian with them. It would depend on the parent. I’ve heard some examples where the parent won’t let them see it until they are older.

Um if their parents let them be in it than yeh i am pretty sure there parents could care less about what they watch.

That’s a very good question because before the ratings board came about as we know it Sue Lyon played a young girl who was having an affair? with a much older James Mason in the movie ******. Two of the provisions for the Catholic League not to censor the movie (give it their seal of disapproval) was that Lolita’s age never be mentioned in the movie as it is the book which was 12! The other provision was that nobody under 17 be allowed to see the movie. Lyon, the star was at that time 14. I’m betting that she saw the movie but possibly publicly she was obviously too young!

well, if their parents allowed them to be rolled in that movie in the first place, i’d guess they would at least let them watch their part.
