[quote=Anonymous]I have a feeling that even if only one child comes your DH will find a way not to see the movie as the cause.

Not all R movies are created equal and the one you mention sounds particularly gruesome. There is no way my child would attend a party where the main entertainment is watching people be dismembered.

As a parent I would either not RSVP (and not show) or just say no. I wouldn't tell you that I objected because sometimes (despite best efforts at confidentiality) things get out and i wouldn't want DC to be "blamed" for the first choice movie not being shown.

Have you or DH actually seen the movie? I googled it to see what it was about (besides the obvious) and couldn't even get through the results because of the real crime scene photos and news articles about real people who were actually dismembered.

As PP said- i would question what else would be allowed at the party if the parents intentionally showed a movie to an UNDERAGE group. To be honest I would just say that a parent objected and show the PG-13 movie.[/quote]
