We took my nephews to see Power Rangers at the cinema this afternoon - they're 12, 11 and 9. The film is a 12A, so obviously the 11 and 9 year olds would've had to be accompanied anyway. But they're all big 'hero movie' fans and we knew they'd be fine with it.
A lady with two children - aged about 4 and 8 - came in (15 mins after the film had started, but that's their choice). The 4 year old then spent an hour talking to her mum at varying volumes and walking up and down the row they were in (in front of us) with their booster seat. Obviously when mum occasionally tried to quiet her or get her to sit down, this then raises the volume again.
I totally understand what a 12A certificate means and respect anybody's right to decide what is appropriate for their child, but am I unreasonable in thinking if you take a young child to a 12A film you shouldn't expect them to walk around talking?
Or am I totally unreasonable and need to get a bit more of a grip??

AIBU?
To think 12A films are not the place for uncontrolled 4 year olds?
