Doesn't really matter who sets the standards, as long as they are there. If the industry did not set the standards, chances are the gov't would step in.
The reality is, our daughter was turned away trying to see an R rated movie recently (she's 17). We were there at the box office, and told the ticket seller that we were ok with it. They said she could not see it unless one of us actually sat through the movie with her.

Technically, at 17, they should have let her in:

Do you live in a 1 theater town? If not, then I somehow doubt that the manager of the theater enjoys losing ticket sales (assuming you're not a problematic movie goer with a past history of disruption)

Very true...........My son and his friend went and saw fast and furious at the theater about two weeks ago it's rated PG-13. They are both still twelve almost 13 but not quite there yet. Although to look at them you would guess them to be close to 14 or 15.

I've never even seen an ID check done for PG-13 movies.
