![]() I would say, below six it’s an immediate ‘No.’ Above 8 or 9, it’s, ‘Why not?’ … If the parents restrict exposure, which a lot of parents also do, then my suggestion is, see the movie yourself and decide whether you want your kid to see it. ![]() Here's what Jurassic Park author, Michael Crichton, wrote when asked whether young kids should see the original movie: Common Sense Media cautions about any kids any 10 seeing this movie but from my estimation that was the most significant demographic for this movie. I see no excuse for parents to bring their elementary school-aged kids to teenage level movies. Those PG-13 movies are stealing your babies innocence. Don’t be surprised when your 5-year-old starts using words like bitch, asshole and f*ck. While I understand that young parents need a break from cleaning up messes and endless hours of Dora the Explorer and Thomas again and again, a PG-13 rated movie isn’t the best place - in my opinion - to hang out with your kids. They got to spend time with an aunt and uncle, and we got to be out for a few hours. If we wanted to see a movie in the theatre, we found a baby sitter (usually a family member). The PG, PG-13 and R rated movies? We sucked it up, stayed home, and watched them on DVD or Netflix when the kids went to sleep. The kind that makes you laugh and cry and teach you something about family and friendship along the way. For years we took our kids to G rated only movies. PG-13 is designed to make these parental decisions easier for films between PG and R.īhavana and I never took the kids to movies that were inappropriate for their age. Its purpose is to give prescreening advance informational warnings so that parents can form their judgments. It cannot, and should not, insert itself in family decisions that only parents can, and should, make. The voluntary rating system is not a surrogate parent, nor should it be. PG-13 places larger responsibilities on parents for their children's moviegoing. These films can be rated less severely however, if, by a special vote, the Rating Board feels that a lesser rating would more responsibly reflect the opinion of American parents. More than one such expletive must lead the Rating Board to issue a film an R rating, as must even one of these words used in a sexual context. A film's single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, shall initially require the Rating Board to issue that film at least a PG-13 rating. If violence is too rough or persistent, the film goes into the R (restricted) rating. ![]() If nudity is sexually oriented, the film will generally not be found in the PG-13 category. In effect, the PG-13 cautions parents with more stringency than usual to give special attention to this film before they allow their 12-year olds and younger to attend. Any drug use content will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. A PG-13 film is one which, in the view of the Rating Board, leaps beyond the boundaries of the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, or other contents, but does not quite fit within the restricted R category. Parents, by the rating, are alerted to be very careful about the attendance of their under-teenage children. PG-13 is thus a sterner warning to parents to determine for themselves the attendance in particular of their younger children as they might consider some material not suited for them. What is the definition of PG-13? I looked it up. I don't consider these movies appropriate for any kids under 13. We also saw parents taking their young kids to watch PG-13 movies like the Hunger Games where kids kill each other. There was a scene where they walk into a bar to talk to the Wolverine character, and he responds “F*ck Off”. We were surprised while watching one of the recent Avengers movies. Sometimes the PG-13 movies have surprises. Are those visuals appropriate for a 4-year-old kid? ![]() The film has dinosaurs eating people and tearing them to bloody shreds. His mother had to keep "shushing" him during the movie because he kept asking questions loudly. The film is rated PG-13 - these are movies appropriate for kids over 12 - but we both noticed how many younger kids was attending the film with their parents. Bhavana and I took the kids to see Jurassic World a few weeks ago. ![]()
