Should My Child Watch This Movie: Figuring Out Movie Ratings
By Submission
These days going to seems like it requires taking out a small loan. Not only are ticket prices hovering around $10 each but popcorn and soda are approaching prices that the oil companies would be proud of.
On top of this, you are expected to decipher the movie ratings which can seem rather foggy at times. Is a movie that’s rated PG suitable for your four-year-old? How about a PG-13 movie? Should a child really be 13 in order to see it?
When trying to figure out if a movie is suitable for your child the best place to start his understanding what the movie ratings mean.
The Motion Picture Association of America has five official ratings for movies. These are:
G for general audiences
PG for parental guidance suggested
PG-13 for parental guidance strongly suggested for children under the ages of 13
R for restricted to children under the ages 18 unless accompanied by adults
NC-17 for no one 17 and under will be permitted into the theater.
You’re most likely to G rating on strictly children's movies. These will be that have happy endings and are completely without violence or any sexually suggestive situations and language. These are absolutely safe to lets children of any age watch.
PG are more along the lines of a family film, something that both mom and dad and the kids will enjoy. PG films may have some low-level violence such as a fistfight, mildly sexually suggestive situations such as a kissing scene or is slightly stressful situations such as when the bad guy has the good guy in a tough spot. Most children over the age of eight are more than capable of handling situations they see on screen in PG films. Children under the age of eight may be either frightened by or unable to understand some of the situations that happened in a PG film, depending on the emotional age of the individual child.
PG-13 are meant for a slightly older audience than PG films. In PG-13 films you are likely to find higher levels of violence such as gunfights and blood, more sexually suggestive situations, though not overly sexual, such as long involved kissing or some fondling and more suspenseful and intense situations. PG-13 may also have explicit language such as curse words or descriptive sex words. Parents should think carefully and perhaps preview the movie before taking children under the age of 13 to the movie. That being said, most children over the age of 10 are capable of handling the situations and language seen in these movies.
R are meant for adults. Rated R may have extreme violence, sexually explicit situations,
