Common Sense Media Warns Parents (And Kids) of Adult Content in Movies

Common Sense Media Warns Parents (And Kids) of Adult Content in Movies


Web: Which movie is safe for your kids to watch? For that matter, which film you plan on watching with your parents isn't going to have a scene that makes you feel awkward? Find out at Common Sense Media.


The site includes Independent reviewers and experts talking about the content of each movie, highlighting things like abusive language, violence, nudity or other materials meant for adults. There's also a rating based on parameters like positive messages, positive role models, violence, sex, consumerism, drinking, drugs and smoking. Putting together all of these and other aspects of the movie, different ages are given a rating for the movie: red is inappropriate, amber is a parent's call, and green is appropriate.


Because of the detailed descriptions of the movie, it can also be reverse-engineered by teens and young adults to find out if a movie they are watching with their parents is going to have a sex scene (or worse) that's going to make things awkward.


Common Sense Media covers a lot more than just movies, including books, apps, games, music and more. But apart from movies, the other sections don't seem to be covered well so it's difficult to recommend it for anything else.
