When people bring Kindergarteners or preschoolers into PG-13 movies. I see it all the time. Prescott and I actually got our money back after enduring "The Legends of Sleepy Hollow", sitting in back of a crying 3 (or 4?) year old. People have no common sense.

My first "naughty" movie, I think when I was 12 as well, was "Sixteen Candles". Rated PG, but still contained the f-word and what may have been the first pair of boobies I had ever seen. The same rating as the Spongebob movie. Bottom line is that we can't depend on any group (or government) to parent for us, we have to stay informed and make those decisions ourselves.
