Movies are a big part of our society. It may be a regular source of entertainment for your family. Unless we are proactive, we could end up watching with our kids or letting our teens see on their own, some terrible movies that look so funny and family friendly from the trailers.
Well, worry no more. We have www.pluggedin.com. (This sounds like an infomercial.) Recent movies, books, and video games are reviewed, listing in detail the good and bad.
When your kids want to see Daddy’s Home which looks funny and innocent from the trailer, you think to yourself, “It can’t be all that bad. After all, there are little kids in it.” All you have to do is look it up at Plugged In. Here you read:
AT LEAST 15 S-WORDS. “B–CH” AND “A–” ARE EACH UTTERED ABOUT HALF A DOZEN TIMES; “H—,” THREE OR FOUR TIMES. THERE’S ONE USE EACH OF THE FOLLOWING VULGARITIES, CRUDITIES OR PROFANITIES: “B–TARD,” “FOR CRIPES’ SAKE,” “P—Y,” “WUSSY,” “PR–K,” “BUTTHOLE,” “HOLY BALLS,” “NUTS,” “D–KIE” AND “P—ED.” GOD’S NAME IS MISUSED BETWEEN 15 AND 20 TIMES (TWICE PAIRED WITH “D–N”). WE HEAR ONE ABUSE OF JESUS’ NAME.
I wonder how many parents make the mistake of bringing their kids to see a movie only to shrink in their seats or put their hands over their eyes during scenes?

One of the best things you can do, so we can impact more families is to forward this on to others. You can also “like” our Facebook page and subscribe to our weekly texts (info on the left side.)
