So Good It's Worth Navigating the Tricky Parts
Book: When You Reach Me
I rate this titleonand give itEvocative, stunning writing -- should be a classic
My daughter loved this book so much I read it too. Wonderfully written, suspenseful, mysterious. A terrific heroine who lives in a slightly dangerous urban neighborhood. Her mother particularly ...
DVD: A Walk to Remember
I rate this titleonand give itMade the Mom Cry
My almost-10-year old daughter and I watched this together. At first we didn't even recognize Mandy Moore. ( Not very red-heady). While my daughter doesn't cry at movies, this was a several-tissue ...
DVD: Hairspray (2007)
I rate this titleonand give itlightweight but fun
I fall asleep in most movies I take my 9-year-old to see, but this one kept me engaged. Not particularly memorable, except for the catchy tunes, but fun. When asked, my daughter knew just what it ...
DVD: Night at the Museum
I rate this titleonand give it
DVD: Ice Age: The Meltdown
I rate this titleonand give it"Mom, what's a pervert?"
I wish your review had prepared me for the use of the word pervert by one of the characters, prompting my seven-year-old daughter to ask the question. I also wish the filmmakers had left that word ...
DVD: Pride & Prejudice

DVD: 16 Blocks
I rate this titleonand give itgreat acting
Although the Willis character is an active alcoholic, the entire message of the movie is that people can change, and the way he looks after he stops drinking is a great example for kids to see. I am ...
DVD: King Kong (1933)
I rate this titleonand give itshould have cut a half hour
This went on about a half hour longer than it needed to (and at 3+ hours that is a meaningful amount of time). Unrelenting violence, very graphic. But a terrific action movie.
DVD: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
I rate this titleonand give itcharming, engrossing
I will now read the books with my seven year old (and perhaps take her to it, but I think another year under her belt would help with watching the violence). Wonderful child actors.
DVD: My Dog Skip
I rate this titleiffyand give itfor once I agree with your age guidance
I usually find the Common Sense rating a big conservative -- my six year old was usually fine with movies rated 8+. But in this case, I think 8 is the right cut-off. The scary scenes are truly ...
DVD: Herbie: Fully Loaded
I rate this titleonand give itbetter than expected
My six-year-old daughter liked it a lot and I barely checked my PDA for email during the movie, so it met my entertainment thresshold. Talented cast, a few cute moments, and I wanted to be young ...

What Messages Are Your Kids Getting From Chris Brown and Rihanna?
Your Comments:I think parents should organize a boycott of both of their music. Clearly they don't care what message they are sending to our kids, perhaps a financial loss can get through to them. This new duet is so cynical and tragic.
