Yes. There are no age restrictions for G, PG and PG-13 movies. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need a parent to see a PG-13 movie if you're under 13. PG-13 means parental guidance is suggested for kids under 13. That's "suggested," not "mandatory."

The only age restrictions are for R and NC-17 movies.

PG and PG-13 mean Parental Guidance Suggested and Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested. A parent is NOT required to attend a PG or a PG-13 movie with a child, no matter what age the child is.

R means a parent or guardian is required to attend the movie with you if you are under 17. NC-17 means no under 17 admitted, even with a parent/guardian.

Yes, with parental permission.

Here are the rules according to The Motion Picture Association of America:

PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13. A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous.
