Should we Say NO or let him GO?

My 13 (just turned) year old son has been invited to a bday party where they are going to a movie which is 100% not appropriate for them. (Act of Valor) Of course, all the other parents have no issue with this, they have always let their kids ignore age rated warnings on movies and video games... DO WE let him go so he isn't the only kid in his peer group singled out OR DO we say no.... We have always said no previously but it is getting to be an issue where his friends are excluding him ( We are most mad at the other parents for not even having a clue this could be an issue!). The main issue is the violence in the movie, it is realistic, which may or may not be as bad since this kind of stuff actually goes on in the world... Thoughts??? IT is 14A in our province but R in the USA.

    I've seen that movie and there were young children in there who enjoyed it.

    Also, 14a doesn't mean that it's only recomended for people over 14.

    Act of valor is not a slightest concern, there is nothing in the movie that he probably hasn't heard today.

    It sounds like you guys are being the responsible parents. Don't let the choices of others affect you- you seem to have your priorities straight.
