There's this movie called Tekkon Kinkreet that I really want to see, yet I'm not 17 years old yet. Just say I go to Borders, FYE, Blockbusters or something and I take T.K. to the register. Would they ask for an ID or an age or something if I attempted to buy an R-rated movie?

You should. I doubt if one would really stop you from buying it.

Not me I have always looked older. But I completely understand why. I used to work at a movie theater and a store that sold R rated movies. The company can be held liable if the minor decided to reenact scenes moves and or repeat language. And the last thing a company wants are multi million dollar lawsuit because the let an underage kid get an R rated movie now mommy and daddy decided to call the lawyer so they all can get rich

A lot of it depends on how old you appear. A few years ago, I was in my early 20s, I was carded at Walmart when I tried to pay for "Saving Private Ryan."

They are supposed to check ID for anyone that appears they MAY by under age. When I worked in retail, I checked ID for EVERYONE, even if they looked twice my age.

Sounds like you're way under seventeen or you wouldn't ask such a question.
Let me try to answer in a way you'd understand: They'll sell it to you if you look like Chris Griffin, but not if you look like Stewie.

They should but typically do not.
