To sneak into an R-rated movie, purchase a ticket to a different movie that you're old enough to see, such as a PG or PG-13 movie. If possible, choose a movie that's playing on a screen that's next to the R-rated movie. Once you have your ticket, give it to the ticket taker and follow any other people into the R-rated movie.
