What My Kids Love Now

House Rules

When the Kids Are Asleep…

My Biggest Challenge Is:

Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • DVD: The Twilight Saga: New Moon

    I rate this titleonand give it3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

      Age-appropriate for teens

      A fun (but terribly cheesy) film that is age appropriate for teens (and wouldn't be that interesting to 10-year-olds). I mostly laughed at it, but if I were 14, I'd have loved this. Pretty ...

    • DVD: Whip It

      I rate this titleonand give it4.0
      My concerns are:
      • Inappropriate sexual content
      • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

      • My highlights are:
      • Positive messages
      • Good role models

      Girl empowerment

      A good girl-empowerment movie appropriate for teens and tweens. While there is a bit of sexual content and drinking, those events aren't glamorized. (The main character regrets having sex with ...

    • DVD: Julie & Julia

      I rate this titleonand give it4.0

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages
        • Good role models

        Aimed at adults, but okay for tweens

        Good messages about pursuing your dream in spite of criticism. Very tame for a pg-13 movie. Language aren't sexual references isn't any worse than what you'd hear on TV. Sex is ...

      • DVD: (500) Days of Summer

        I rate this titleonand give it4.0
        My concerns are:
        • Inappropriate sexual content
        • Inappropriate language

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages

        Fine for teens

        A realistic movie about romance. There is a bit of language and sexual references/promiscuity (among adults). But it has good messages - male and female characters aren't stereotyped, characters ...

      • DVD: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

        I rate this titleonand give it4.0
        My concerns are:
        • Excessive violence

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages
        • Good role models

        Good series with positive messages

        Older kids and tweens have probably read the books, so the violence that occurs shouldn't be a shock to them. (The later HP stories are scarier than the first 3 books.) Romance is innocent. ...

      • DVD: The Hangover

        I rate this titleonand give it4.0
        My concerns are:
        • Inappropriate sexual content
        • Inappropriate language
        • Drinking, smoking, or drug use
        • Negative role models

          For older teens

          There's a lot of salty language, and it's very raunchy, but high school students will have heard it all before. It's a funny film that older teen boys will enjoy. True, the (adult) ...
