[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 14 yo DS claims his friends have already seen these flicks.  He loves comedy, but based on the values we want to teach him, we don't condone watching movies laden with sexual messages like these. We are thankful he hasn't gone on his own to watch these movies.  I am sure he will at some point and honestly, I would rather he do it without us.  We like to watch movies together as a family and have watched many r rated movies, but we just can't see ourselves sitting through these.  How far will you go with r rated movies with your teens?[/quote]

Values or not, if your DS wants to see the movies he can do it pretty easily without your knowledge.  My DD just turned 16 and has seen Trainwreck 3 times already.  And she saw Ted when she was either 14 or 15, at a friend's house.

I wanted to add also that this is not a "value-based" issue really.  I have high morals and watch rated R movies all the time granted I am an adult but you are equating watching these kinds of movies with having low values or morals. Its what your kid does with the information after the movie that determines his true nature.  If he's mature enough he should be able to separate truth from fiction.  appropriate vs. inappropriate behavior in the real world.

I say trust the kid, let him watch them.
