Hi Tim,
At this point, I don't think the R-Card is available in Michigan, just in Illinois. As for whether it's good to get one, that's really something for individual teenagers and their parents to decide. The R rating is there for a reason, and some movies may be inappropriate for younger viewers. However, there might be some that your parents are OK with you seeing. It's really something to discuss with them. As I said, though, i don't think the card is available in Michigan, but you'd have to ask your local movie theater to be sure.

best,
Amanda

No, you shouldn't have bought the card from a man on the street. The legitimate card is sold only through the GKC theatre chain, has your photo and parent's signature on it, and costs $2. It only works at the theaters in the GKC chain. Some theaters will also allow you into an R-rated movie (without such a card) if your mother goes with you to buy the ticket.
It sounds like the man who sold you the card was dishonest.

Amanda
