Eighth Grade Movie — Maybe Your Kids Shouldn’t See It, But Parents Should
Last Friday I did something very unusual. I sidled up to the refreshment counter at my local movie theater and ordered a popcorn and a Cherry Coke at 12:25 PM, and the friendly cashier asked me what movie I was seeing.
“The ‘Eighth Grade’ movie,” I replied, almost stuttering, “but before you judge me, it’s for work.” I had already done my research, including looking up the film on Common Sense Media.
He laughed out loud.
Common sense media age 7
I guess he didn’t feel it was as weird as I did that a forty-year-old-woman was seeing a rated R movie about teenagers in the middle of the day. He assured me he was not judging me, and off I went into the theater, where I was surprised to see, I was not the only audience member.
About four or five other adults were already seated. (I wonder what THEIR excuse was??)
