So.........  
 
Me and the missus decided to go to the movies tonight to see Bruno, which, wasn't that funny although it did have it's moments.  
 
Anyway.....  
 
I'm generally not a fan of going to the movies because I get annoyed when you have a bunch of kids yapping around you or kicking your chair and such like.  
 
Given that this movie was an 18A I felt it was pretty safe to say that the clientele you would expect to see at  
"UP in 3D" were not going to be at this movie.  
 
To my surprise when we walked in the the place was littered with kids, kids you could tell were blatantly under the age of 18, but you know whatever, hell who didn't go see a movie rated for people older that you actually were when you were young? The real clincher for me however were the 2 parents (i assume they were the parents)that came waltzing in with 2 VERY YOUNG children who I am SURE were under the age of 14, 100% SURE. Given Sasha Barron Cohen's (Starring role in the movie) reputation in movies such as Borat and his not so well known (in north America) Ali G show. I knew this movie was IN NOW WAY going to be even remotely suitable for these 2 young children.......  
 
I was more than right!......  
 
I really don't understand how the parents of these 2 young kids would think they would find this type of movie funny. The movie was filled with smut, nudity and everything else you could imagine which to you and me.... well maybe not you but for sure me was at times hilarious.... but totally unsuitable for children of that age.  
 
I went to the bathroom after the movie and there were a couple of people in the bathroom that were commenting on how they felt it was inappropriate. One guy said "I bet those parent are please they took their 8 year old's to see Bruno" (just goes to show how young these kids looked)  
 
To the parents (and you will know who you are).... if you read ebrandon..... I just want you to know I think it's a disgrace.  
 
I will be totally shocked if there is anyone on here who is going to challenge my opinion but I guess we will see.
