and i heard theres a movie theater in manhattan that allows underage kids to watch rated R movies

i guess you could just go to any theatre and if they ask you how old you are say 17, or just be mature so you look like your 17

No, you need to sneak in the back.

all depends on how the strict the theater is but most of the time they don't even pay attention and wont even ask for id just give it a try.

All depends on how strict the theatre is and who is working. Usually the are especially on the look-out on nights big rated-R movies like that come out, so you might be better off waiting until like Tuesday night or something, when they don't really care. You could also try the time-honored trick of buying tickets for the movie in the next theatre over and "accidentally" wandering into Harold and Kumar.

Also, on-line tickets generally non-refundable so you might just want to try your luck buying them at the theatre.
