The mothers protested the movie outside of the Cinemark Theater off Powers Boulevard saying it glamorizes pornography and violence.
“We’re really concerned that because of its R rating, that teenagers who are just coming into their sexuality are going to see this. It really portrays a violent sexuality,” a protester said.

The group believes the movie is really porn masqueraded as a romantic movie. Organizers asked the community to donate to TESSA, a battered women’s shelter, instead of paying to see the movie.
