Extension summary

NOW available on Play Store

Parents' Guide to Movies extension enables parents to determine whether a movie is appropriate for them or their children, according to their own criteria. Every movie is assigned a rating on a scale of 0 to 10 in each of the following five different categories Sex & Nudity, Violence, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense.

The reviews reflect facts of relevant scenes in the movie in the above categories. Users are encouraged to add their own reviews, but instead of adding personal opinions about what someone might think is right or wrong about the movie, we encourage users to only list the facts of relevant scenes in the movie based on the above categories and leave parents decide if the content is appropriate or not.

I use this often to see what is in the movie before I watch it with my son. It saves me two steps. One, from going to Google to begin with and two, from having to type "Parents Guide" after the title of the movie to get a link to the site to get the information I need. With this extension, I can just type the title and see the results right then and there. Nice extension.
