So the Fifty Shades of Grey movie is about to be released, and womankind is chomping at the bit to see the adaptation of the bestselling book. But as we all know, it's not easy for new moms to get out to the cinema. So why not check out a baby-friendly screening during the day?
Moms and babe screenings have been a booming business for years, yet some find this particular screening an objectionable choice.
5 Best Books To Read After 50 Shades of Grey
"Combining babies and erotic fiction doesn't float everyone's boat," said Mumsnet chief executive Justine Roberts, "but [our] view is broadly each to their own. And the baby hasn't a clue what's on-screen anyway, which from what we've heard is probably a blessing or else he or she might just refuse to go along." LOL Mumsnet, LOL!
In the UK, Fifty Shades has a 15 rating, while in the US anyone under 17 will need to be accompanied by an adult due to the movie's "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behaviour and graphic nudity.”
Typically at baby-friendly screenings, volume is lowered, lighting dimmed. (In other words, a perfect ambiance for erotic viewing, if you discount the soundtrack of wailing babies.)
A Dedicated Fan Recreated This Infamous '5o Shades of Grey Scene' That Won't Be Seen In the Movie
Given the screenings are only open to infants under 12 months old, I don't really see a problem. It's not like Fifty Shades is full of gut-splattering graphic violence. And by all accounts, even the sex has been toned down, so it's the Disney of pornography.
On the upshot: Valentine's will be extra sweet for all the husbands spared of a Christian Grey date night.
