I remember before that SM Cinemas announced their policy that they will never allow the showing of R-rated movies. They said then that they wanted their cinemas to target only a “family-friendly” audience. So it’s interesting that the movie was given an R-13 rating (yay!) and that it was allowed to show in SM.

ay! papanuorin kow itow! Tagal ko nang cush si Baron....! high school pa ako! hahaha.
i cant wait to see this movie!
maybe SM is trying to tap the pink market
that's right, Jay-oh-ee-el. i wasn't able to show my short along with my feature back in 2006 because of this policy. it's good that they're reconsidering, considering the film Jay has garnered several awards already.
Jay-Bee.
