I agree with childofcrow - Kids attending is not the issue. I was at the same screening - it was an evening show, and one of those kids was a full on baby. The other children were running around, sure - chatting a bit - but I was sort of braced for that. I was not braced for a crying, screaming, BABY. Your baby cannot enjoy the film. Your baby cannot be expected to sit in contented silence for 2 and a half hours. Babies don't work that way, unless they are sleeping.
My personal favourite moment was when someone shushed this woman, and she decided to get up and move closer to the screen (?) and she, loudly, in the presence of all her children, said to the shusher "Why don't you go fuck yourself." Clearly, this woman is not concerned about what her children are seeing or learning.
Bring your kids to a kids' movie, sure. But bring them to a matinee if possible, when the kid expectation is there, and for god's sake, leave the baby at home. If you can't get a baby sitter, well, I guess you won't be going. Them's the breaks when you have kids.
