A Co. Meath cinema has warned it will not allow any 'unaccompanied males' into view the new Fifty Shades Darker movie, ahead of its opening tonight.

The 'tongue in cheek' phone listings for the Navan cinema today states: "If you're looking to go to Fifty Shades Darker and you're bringing your boyfriend, you better keep lots of space between you.

"It's on an 18 cert and I must stress that single men or married men on their own, any unaccompanied males will not be allowed in."

Paul Egan who records the phone listings for the Diamond Cinema said: "Well, it's meant to be a titillating film so I thought it might be better to keep the single men outside until we suss it out.

"Sure it could lead to all sorts of temptation with women's hormones flying all over the place, while watching the film.

"It might be better to keep the men outside the door until we see if women can control themselves," he laughed.

"The film is basically porn for women, going on what the distributors are describing to us."

Paul said he hadn't seen a preview of the film, ahead of its opening in Navan tonight but when asked if he saw the original Fifty Shades of Grey, he laughed: "I saw a bit of it. I actually fell asleep, those kind of films just don't grab me at all."

So be warned, any man wanting to see Fifty Shades Darker in Navan in the initial few days may be guided into the more innocent 'Sing' movie instead.

The 50 Shades Darker film staring Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele is to open in Irish cinemas tonight on the back of mixed reviews by critics elsewhere.
