age restrictions on buying DVDs

just one quick question.... Say for example I want to buy wedding crashers uncorked, it's unrated and rated R in the theaters, how old do I have to be to buy it in stores? Is it 17 just like the the theater or 18? and one more, how about Chappelle's Show, how old for that one?

thanks

17 for wedding crashers.

I laugh whenever Walmart asks me if I'm 17. That's really the only store that even cares. I bought R rated movies at Best Buy and the like when I was 14.

Same here. But it was a suncoast.

Oh, I never shop at SunCoast. Their prices are like Border's prices.

I can remember only once being asked for proof of age. It was when I went to buy The Good, The Bad & The Ugly and that was only MA15+. I think I got asked because I bought it at EzyDVD which is obviously a DVD speciality store. I ever get asked for some reason and a lot of my collection is R rated material.

They do have a lot of obscure stuff though. I can't remember a time I've ever been asked for proof of age.

I don't think I have ever been asked for proof of age when buying a movie either.

I usually shop at a store called Hasting's looking for used titles. They always have a pop-up come on the computer screen at check out that reads: "This title is restricted to minors (under 18). Check I.D. before selling." I guess certain titles are flagged like that.

Here there are no age restrictions, I could buy porn if I wanted too.

I still get asked sometimes on 15 certificates! and I'm in my twenties...
