Since 1998, Parental Guide has been the trusted resource for parents providing the latest family movie reviews and rating information. At ParentalGuide, our goal is not to tell you what to think, but to present you with lots of great ideas to think about. We know you’ll make choices that are best for your family.
Can't find the movie you are looking for shown above? Then check our film archive of parents reviews. In our film archive, you'll find family movie reviews on your favorite movies from the past and the movies on DVD's.
Just click here to see movie reviews listed alphabetically.
We want to help you make the best choice for your family. Rather than a movie solely being rated "G" or "PG-13," we slide our movie rating scale to denote if there are some scenes that may be a bit more intense for younger audiences. We’ll help you gain more insight into the movie content with our film reviews and you’ll decide what is appropirate for your child and family values.
The sliding movie rating scale, combined with our family movie reviews, can help you make an educated choice when determining what to see at the theater this weekend with your family.
Look for Parental Guide’s movie rating scale on each family movie review page.
