Kids-in-Mind Movie Ratings - The purpose of kids-in-mind.com is to provide
parents and other adults with objective and complete information about a film's
content so that they can decide, based on their own value system, whether they
should watch a movie with or without their kids.
It's like a food labeling system which tells you what a food item contains.
That's it. We make no judgments about what is good or bad or anything else.
Indeed, we do not "condemn," "critique" or "criticize" movies. And we don't
"praise" or "recommend" movies either. We advance no "beliefs" and we do not
"preach" anything. We are not affiliated with any political party, any cultural
or religious group, or any ideology. The only thing we advocate is responsible,
engaged parenting.
