If you haven’t already seen the preview, funny girls Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn and Mila Kunis star in the new movie “Bad Moms,” an honest (and humorous) take on the struggles of being a parent.
As a new mom familiar with these struggles, Brookynn Cahill decided to get together with a group of other moms to check out the new film and have a good laugh. Unfortunately, they were turned away at the door.
What Cahill and her friends didn’t realize was that the movie’s R rating prohibited them from entering the theatre with their kids.
“No one had communicated that children under 6 were not allowed in R-rated movies,” Amber Cebull, of Fort Myers tells News-Press. “We had breast-feeding moms with infants, one 4 weeks and one 7 months, and they refused them entry.”
Not only were the women not allowed to bring their children into the theatre, but the staff at the theatre then directed them to a screening room where "Ice Age: Collision Course" had been playing for an hour.
“They made me feel like a terrible person for bringing my child,” Cahill said.
Refusing to give up on their plan, Cahill and the other snuck into the theatre anyways only to be later removed by the management.
“I think that they have a right to have their rules for their theater,” she said. “But I think it needs to be a little different with the age limit. Young babies are sleeping and being perfectly fine. If our babies are going to make a noise, we know how to handle this situation.”
Do you think these moms should have been allowed to take their babies into the R-rated movie? Let us know your thoughts by tweeting to @YahooStyleCA.
