Moviemakers and moviegoers (like me) know better. Introduction Introduction P oliticians are fond of talking about “family values,” which mistakenly assumes that all families are alike. NG = Not Good for children of this age group OK = OK for children of this age group VG = Very Good for children of this age group If a film title is printed in boldface, you will find a complete review of it in this book. We hope that these shorthand ratings, amplified by our reviews, will serve as a useful guide to concerned parents.
And only a parent has an awareness of whether or not their 10-to-12-year-old is sufficiently mature to handle more sophisticated story material.
Only parents can determine whether their 3-to-5-year-old is ready to see a spooky-looking monster. So we have divided our ratings into two groups: young children and older children. We have decided that labeling films according to specific age groups is foolhardy, if not downright impossible. © Copyright 1999 by Leonard Maltin First e-reads publication 1999 ISBN 0-7592-1106-X Family Film Guide The MPAA ratings arenas follows: G PG PG-13 R For General Audiences Parental Guidance suggested Not suitable for children under the age of 13 Restricted for children under the age of 17 Films released before 1967 do not carry MPAA ratings (although some have received them for reissue purposes).
