From Nanny Kristen!! (A Featured Good Nanny)
I love to take my charges to the movies and my MB approves so we have much fun! We just saw "Daddy's Home " and I have good and bad news - it was hilarious from an adult point of view, but from a kid point of view the movie had too much adult content - curse words and content that will take away their innocence. I had to cover their ears more than once, I needed four hands !! The website said pg but it was really pg13. I would not take any child under 15 years to see it.
I also was not completely happy with the new STAR WARS movie either - it was bloody and scared my younger charge.
Any advice on movies - good or bad would be very helpful!
Use common sense media to screen films.it's a great resource. But really, you don't need a website to tell you those aren't appropriate for young kids. How old are your charges?
ReplyDeleteshe sent it by email - her charges are 3, 5, 6, and the boy is 7 years
ReplyDeleteScreenit.com is also an amazing resource. It pretty much lists every single objectionable thing a movie contains.
ReplyDelete(There's no way I would have taken anyone under 13 to see the new Star Wars movie without screening it first. There's such a thing as common sense lol)

ReplyDeleteExactly! Why would you bring a 3 year old to see Star Wars. A Disney cartoon would have been a better choice. I understand you probably wanted to see it. But I would wait to see with friends instead.
ReplyDeleteThe 6&7 year old are probably old enough for most pg movies but the 3&5 year old should still be watching g movies. And there is nothing wrong with the 6&7 year olds seeing a g movie too. I have not seen the advertisements for Daddy's home so I cannot comment on that. Good advice from the posters above to check it out before you go. I think that the movie industry is getting away with way too much and not being cautious enough with the ratings.
ReplyDeleteI can explain why someone might not know to keep younger kids away from STAR WARS - its 1st trilogy was fine for every age and there were fewer choices then. Parents aunts and uncles want to share what they experienced but - times change and younger nannies are better informed and on the ball
