Alright, so you wanna know about them Catholic movie reviews, huh? For parents, you say? Well, let me tell ya, it ain’t rocket science. Them church folks, they got this thing called the USCCB, and they watch movies too, just like us. But they give ’em letters, not stars like them fancy movie critics.
They got this A-I rating, that’s like for everybody, you know? Your kids, your grandma, even that grumpy old man down the street. Safe as houses, that one. Then there’s A-II, that’s for the teenagers and the grown-ups. Probably got some kissin’ and maybe some fightin’, but nothin’ too bad. A-III, well, that’s just for the grown-ups. You know, the kind of stuff you don’t want little Timmy seein’.
Now, they got this L rating too. That means “Limited,” see? Means it might be a bit much for some folks, even the grown-ups. Maybe it’s got some scary stuff, or people doin’ things they shouldn’t. And then there’s O. O stands for “Offensive,” and let me tell ya, you best stay away from them. Nothin’ good can come from watchin’ an O movie, I tell ya.
But here’s the thing, them Catholic ratings ain’t the only thing you gotta look at. You gotta check out that MPAA rating too. You know, that PG-13, R stuff? That tells ya if there’s cussin’ or violence or, you know… other things. And don’t forget to read what other parents are sayin’. Them reviews, they can tell you if a movie is gonna give your kids nightmares or if it’s just plain boring.
So, how do you figure out what to watch? Well, first you gotta know what your kids can handle. Little Sally can’t watch the same thing as big brother Joe, right? Then you gotta look at them ratings. The Catholic one, the MPAA one, and the parent reviews. And then, well, you just gotta use your common sense. You know your kids better than anyone else.
And another thing, don’t just go by what the posters say. Them movie people, they’ll make anything sound good. They’ll put superheroes and spaceships and all sorts of things on the poster, but they won’t tell ya about the bad words or the scary monsters. You gotta do your homework, I tell ya.
Now, some folks are always askin’ about them superhero movies, like them Marvel ones. Always so many of ‘em, it’s hard to keep track! They want to know which ones are okay for their kids and which ones ain’t. Well, it’s the same thing. You gotta check the ratings, read the reviews, and use your own judgement. Some of them are fun for the whole family, and some of them… well, some of them are just too much for the little ones.
And don’t be afraid to say no. Just because all the other kids are watchin’ somethin’ doesn’t mean your kids gotta watch it too. You’re the parent, you make the rules. And if a movie ain’t right for your family, then it ain’t right. Period.
- Check the USCCB rating: A-I, A-II, A-III, L, or O.
- Check the MPAA rating: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17.
- Read parent reviews: See what other parents thought of the movie.
- Use your common sense: You know your kids best.
- Don’t be afraid to say no: Not every movie is right for every family.
So there you have it. That’s how you figure out them Catholic movie reviews for parents. It ain’t easy, but it’s important. You gotta protect your kids, keep ‘em from seein’ things they shouldn’t. And remember, watchin’ a movie together as a family, that’s a good thing. Just make sure it’s a good movie, you know?
Now, go on and find somethin’ nice to watch. And don’t forget what I told ya. Them ratings, they’re there for a reason. Use ‘em, and you’ll be just fine.
