Yes, if a parent or guardian buys the ticket and sees the movie with you. If a movie is rated NC-17, you have to be 17, no exceptions, but for an R-rated movie you can be younger than 17 if you have a parent or guardian.

Not exactly sure how old this "guardian" has to be. Like, I don't think a 17 or 18 year-old can take a 16 year-old to an R movie. I've heard that the person buying the ticket and seeing the film with you has to be at least 21, but I have absolutely no idea if that's true or not.

Let's just say that the person needs to look like they could be old enough to be your mom or dad. I don't think too many places actually make you prove that you are the child's legal guardian. So if you have a really cool aunt or older cousin, they could take you. Or, if you have any friends who have parents who'll take you both.

In the United States, yes, 17 is the minimum age you must be to see an R-rated film in theaters without a parent/guardian. If you are accompanied by an adult, then you don't have to be 17.

To see an NC-17 movie, however, you must be 17 years old. Having an adult with you won't get you into an NC-17 movie.

No. A 17 year old is only allowed to purchase a ticket for him/herself, and cannot purchase a ticket for anyone else. You must be at least 18 to purchase tickets for minors to a rated R movie.

However, some theaters are not very strict about this rule, and will usually let 16 year olds into R rated movies with a little prompting. Sometimes they don't even card you!
