VISITOR COMMENTS:

"I am very impressed with the quality and spirit of "Screen It!"...and
plan to mention it in an article in an upcoming issue of Yahoo Internet
Life"
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
"This has got to be the most important site on the net for parents who
actually care about what their kids see (and what they see as well). I
hope you're in business for a long, long time."
"This is absolutely one of the best, if not the best, web site I've
found! I swap interesting sites w\ my friends and this is the one I
always give and I've yet to have anyone say they haven't really enjoyed
it. Thanks for your hard work - it's great to have a family friendly
site."
"I just wanted to thank you again for your great movie reviews, wish I
could get this kind of value in most things that I have to pay for.
Your reviews are the first thing that I look for when planning our
family entertainment."
"I do not see, buy, go without consulting your page to choose
appropriately for my 12 year old daughter!!! Tell your advertisers I
say your pages are very important and valuable!!!"
"Keep up the good work. Now that I found this place I will never read a
newspaper again for movie reviews."
"I was told about your Website just last week by a good friend who was
very impressed with what you are doing. Since Bookmarking your site I
have referred to it many times. It has allowed me to discuss movies
with my pre-teen son before he even sees them, and also to discuss
videos he comes home and tells me he watched at a friend's house. This
is probably the best website I have come across in a very long time, and
I have been telling everyone I know about it. I have even had a couple
of friends say your website could be the catalyst to going on-line. You
are providing a much needed service, and I appreciate the way you just
present the facts that then allows parents to make the decisions for
their own children. I also appreciate the thoroughness of your
categories and the incidences in each. I just can't tell you how
impressed I am with what you are doing. Thank you!"
"This is one of the best and most informative sites on the net.
Thanks!"
"I enjoy Screen It very much. If my 12 year old daughter wants to see
a movie I have not yet seen, I check your comments, especially with
regard to Sex/Nudity and Profanity. I have observed movies after
reading your commentary and found them extremely accurate. You make me
feel better about letting my children see movies when I have not seen
them myself. If a movie is rated PG-13 or R, I will not even consider
letting them see it until you have reviewed it."
"I found this site on the recommendation of another parent and love it!
From now on I will check here before seeing any movie."
"Your reviews are just what I am looking for. The ratings used by the
movie industry do not give enough information for me to decide whether
the movie is appropriate for my son and any of the neighbors' kids
coming along."
"I have two granddaughters, ages 7 and 10, and this is a great way to
find out about movies. Last night, my husband and I saw Contact and
your review was right on the mark. I am going to spread the word about
this site."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have been searching for a site like
this and finding it today has made my day! I have a 7-year-old whose
friends are allowed to see PG and even many R-rated movies. I insist
on knowing exactly why a movie is rated PG before I'll allow my kids to
see it. Your review system is the most detailed I've come across."
"Outstanding! My wife and I have been visiting screenit for almost a
year now. We don't go to the movies without it. Thanks for giving us a
great tool."
"I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your website. It is truly a MUST for any parents
that take an interest in the movies that their children see. It is now
known (and sometimes to my children's dislike) that I HAVE to check out
the show with Screen It before they are allowed to see it. This is the
perfect idea - and long overdue. For many years my kids have been
unable to see various shows since I didn't have the time beforehand to
review it myself. I had to see if there were certain moral values (which
I have TRIED to instill in my children) that were threatened in these
movies. Now, finally, I can depend on your review to help with my
decision and thus allow them (sometimes) to see some great shows.
Thanks so much for your great site. I know I'll use it faithfully."
"I always check out your reviews on videos and movies before allowing my
children to see them and even before my husband and I spend our time and
money on them for ourselves. This is the best review site I've seen.
Thanks for your hard work."
"This is the best web site on the net! I use your information all the
time, and tell everyone I know about it."
"This is an EXCELLENT site! It gives information on everything that I
would wish to know regarding a movie prior to allowing my children to
see it. This enables me to decide if I need to go to see the movie
myself before they go or not to waste my time."
"I am continually impressed by this site. It is the single best source
for parents who care about what their children see. Surprisingly, my
wife and I use it for ourselves as often as we do for our daughter. I
thought this would be a site for conservative or right-wing
interestswhen I heard about it, instead it's my best source for choosing
movies for my whole family."
"Thank you for this service - we refuse to allow our children to see a
movie that we have not reviewed personally in some manner - your home
page gives us a great option for reviewing movies without actually
attending first."
"This is a great service. My daughter wanted to see three movies last
week that I hadn't been able to find family reviews on. With the help of
your service I was able to feel that I was in control of what she was
viewing. I am going to mark this page as a permanent bookmark."
"One of the most original, and innovative movie web sites on the
Internet. Other web sites attempted this but fall short of the details
Screen It provides. I have always been impressed with Screen It's
performance."
"The service you provide is invaluable to families that are interested
in protecting their children from entertainment that may be
inappropriate for their age. My child loves to go to the movies and we
like to take him and your reviews and the timeliness of them have helped
us out."
"Thank you for providing a site where parents can find out why a movie
received the rating it did, and then make an informed decision on
whether to attend the movie or not."
"You folks provide an invaluable service. I am constantly recommending
you to friends. Keep up the good work!"
"I had been searching on-line for a movie review of Hercules and found
exactly what I wanted at your site. It's terrific!!!"
"The detail you provide in your movie reviews regarding sex, violence,
language, etc. are absolutely GOLD to a parent! Keep up the good
work. I tell everyone about this site."
"Thanks for your web site. It's an invaluable service for our busy
little family --- we don't rent videos too often, but when we do we want
to rent a good one that doesn't have excessive violence or sex or bad
language. You can tell your prospective advertisers that our family
would definitely "click" on their links!"
"Thank you for providing reviews that detail why a movie is rated what
it is rated. I am 15 and allowed to see some R films, but before I am
allowed to see them, my parents want to know why they are R. I am very
glad you are out there to outline these things for parents. This makes
not only parents grateful, but kids too."
"Thank you so much for what you do. I can't think of a more thorough
movie review anywhere. Your reviews are such a help to parents and
again, I can't thank you enough. As soon as I hear of someone that
"goes online" I tell them about Screen It."
"This is the most valuable movie guide for parents that I have ever
seen. I have no children, but often rent movies for my nieces (or I
take them to the movies) - it's nice to know what to expect before I
take them."
"I'm very grateful for this review service, something that can't be
found anywhere else."
"This web site has been a gold mine of invaluable information for my
wife and I, as well as many of our friends. We are appreciative that you
do such a thorough job of presenting objective details about each movie,
without making conclusions, but leaving the decision making to us as
parents. Keep up the fantastic work!"
"I am a concerned parent who is grateful that a site like SCREEN IT! has
been created for parents to have an idea what's going on in movies,
songs, etc. without actually having to buy the music or see the movie
before allowing children to view it. Thanks for caring for the future of
our children."
"Thank you for this web site. The information that you provide enables
us to make informed choices. We almost never watch a movie or videotape
without checking this Screen It first."
"This was the most helpful site of any of the movie sites I visited.
Good job and thanks!"
"This is a great idea. Thanks for helping us choose our movies.
Youare a much needed tool in a world where families need as much help as
they can get in raising their children."
"I really like this web page. Whenever I want to see a new movie, I go
here first to see what's in the film. Thanks for making this page; it's
very helpful!:)"
"We just love Screen It! I've told tons of people about the site and
they love it too."
"I really appreciate what you have here! You do wonderful work. I'll
be praying that this site becomes all you hope for it to be. I come to
it constantly to help me spend my money wisely re: whether to splurge on
a first run, wait for the dollar theater, wait for the video or skip it
entirely. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
"I love your site! I am a member of a national organization for
at-home mothers and will definitely pass your web address among the
membership. Thanks for the great service you are doing for parents."
"I have been using this movie review page for the past few months and
think it is great. Having five children under 10 years, you really have
to be careful what they are watching these days. Even if I don't fully
approve of the movie, I at least have a warning of what is coming up and
can take the time to explain to the children why I don't approve. Keep
up the good work. Parents need this."
"I appreciate your site. I do not rent videos or go to the movies
without checking your site first."
"Your site gives me the peace of mind that my child is seeing movies
that are appropriate and entertaining. Thank you for helping make my
jobas a parent easier!"
"This is one of the best resources for parents I've seen on the
internet. Thanks for sharing this information!"
"This is the most useful website I have ever found. A major reason for
the lack of movies seen is because of the inadequacy of the movie
industry rating system. I greatly appreciate your allowing me to judge
the content of movies as opposed to depending on someone else to decide
what is appropriate for my children's age groups. Thank your greatly
for your information- I have already used it several times and will be
recommending it to others.
"I own a movie theatre and find these ratings helpful when parents ask
me if it is appropriate for their kids."
"We are interested in what our grandkids are watching both at the
theater and their video rentals. Their parents mean well and are also
interested but are too busy to take the time to investigate the titles
so that leaves it to us who are retired and suppose to have the time."
"Thanks for providing such a great resource! I rely on your thorough
reviews to make sure my easily frightened daughter will have fun when
she sees a movie (and to be sure her parents aren't horrified at
unexpected 'adult' content). We also use your site to preview the rare
movie we see when we go out alone."
"Thank you for taking the time to review movies and videos from an
approach that includes more than just plot. Your accurate description
of each aspect of a movie or video has
proven to be of great help in determining who, if any of my family, will
view it. Thank you!"
"Hello, I think you are providing an excellent service to parents by
pointing out specific examples of violence and other negative influences
which each movie contains. I will recommend your web page to the young
mothers I know. You are to be commended. I hope film-makers will be
favorably influenced by your work. "
"Thanks for your review site. We live on a military base in Japan and
need to be able to get good movie info quickly and easily. Your site
fills the bill."
Camp Courtney, Okinawa, Japan
"Thank you for your wonderful movie reviews. As a parent of three
teenagers, I have found them to be extremely helpful in selecting
appropriate movies for our family."
"Heard you on the radio in Chicago, so I checked out screenit. It's
Wonderful! Clear. To the point. Covers everything. I've already told my
friends. But from your on air conversation, I think you work too hard."
"I really enjoy your site, even though my husband and I don't have kids
we find this site to be extremely useful, it is EXACTLY what I am
looking for, gives me all the info I like to know about a movie, before
I walk into the theater. You guys should be commended for offering this
site to people and remember you are helping out a lot of people , not
just parents with this site. thanks again."
"This is the best movie review area I've ever seen. My husband and I use
it for our kids and ourselves."
"The web needs more pages like this one. Bravo!"
"I feel that the MPAA ratings are too broad and often find that a PG-13
movie contains material that is not appropriate for any member of my
family. You provide a much better overview of what the movie actually
contains than the rating ever could."
"This is the best resource I have ever seen. For parents who truly care
about what their children are watching and listening to , and who have
been frustrated by attempts to screen EVERYTHING that comes into the
house (exhausting task), this is a godsend. Let me say that I would
more than gladly pay for this service...Thank you for the intelligent
insight, and for helping we parents look like we know what we're talking
about."
"This is exactly the type of information I want to help me decide what
movies I'll feel comfortable letting my children see. I don't consider
myself conservative, but I do believe that a parent needs to make
judgments about what movies young teens should see. Thank you for this
factual resource that allows me to make a judgment according to my
values. I plan to print a few pages to let other parents know where
they can go for helpful movie information."
"Your reviews are great. I will depend on them anytime my family wants
to go to a movie. Thank you for a great web site."
"Your information is superb. It is the best source for the kind of
information parents should have. It gives my wife and I the facts
needed before allowing our children to see a film or rent a video. My
wife is sensitive to violence, so this information allows her to make an
informed decision. Thank you for this most valuable tool."
"This has got to be the best site I’ve ever seen."
"I really enjoy reading the reviews and have found them very helpful.
You do a wonderfully thorough job. Thank you very much for this
service!"
"Your reviews fit perfectly with my style of single-parenting. While I
don't believe in over-protecting my child from the real world, I do like
to be prepared and accessible with explanations/comments. Since there's
often too little time or money to be able to screen movies first, I
greatly appreciate your work. I especially appreciate the thoroughness,
and will continue to faithfully rely upon your service as a good
objective source of information. Thank you again for providing a
much-needed, extremely valuable resource to parents!"
"This is the best site for movie ratings. My son is 9 and without your
site, I would personally have to see every movie he wants to see just to
see if it's ok. Thanks for taking the guess work out of movie ratings."
"This is a great site! My 15 year old is always asking to see movies
that may be marginal for him. By checking this site, I can easily see
how the get their ratings, and what the real content is. I have found
the information to be accurate. Thank you very much for your excellent
work!"
"We love your site! We have told many parents in our area about your
site. Thank you!"
"I love your site! Your reviews are detailed and comprehensive, and give
me the information I need to make smart choices. Thank you, and keep it
up."
"Yours is one of the very few Internet sites I'd be willing to pay for."
"Your reviews are very thorough. I check them once or twice a week. I
always read this before I go to the movies. Keep up the good work!"
"Yours is an excellent service, and has specific information not
available elsewhere. Whenever I plan to take the kid to a movie that's
questionable, I check here first and then make a judgement on the movie
and it's suitability."
"Terrific concept! Realize this is all aimed at 'screening' media for
children but this old kid loves the format and the non-judgemental
'just the facts' approach that lets me pre-screen what
we adults might be interested in watching. Will certainly use it for
visiting grandchildren also."
"Great job! I plan to tell everyone about your web site! You do such
incredibly thorough reviews, it's amazing. As a parent concerned about
what my kids are watching, and as one who enjoys a good video myself,
your reviews will prove invaluable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"I've been visiting this site for about 6 months. As a concerned parent
it's exactly what I'd been looking for. You give the information I make
the decision. Keep up the good work."
"I want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job with all the movie
reviews. This is the ONLY site I go by. I am extremely careful about
what I let my children see, and your site allows me to make these
decisions without having to view the movie myself beforehand. I think
it is GREAT the way you have everything itemized......even down to the
number of certain 'words' used. Please keep up the wonderful work you
are doing. I can't even explain how much I appreciate it. Thanks
again!"
"Thank you for your great site! I've been wanting a service like this
for years."
"This is great! Finally I have a source to guide me in what I allow my
child to view. Your web site is one I will be sure to recommend to
friends."
"Thanks! Your reviews are the most complete, easy to understand and
accurate I've found. We don't see a movie without first checking the
review. Standard procedure. Keep it up!"
"I have three teenagers and a preteen, for whom movies are a chief form
of recreation. I am constantly consulting Screenit.com for knowledge
about movies that will conform to our family standards. I have given
this web address to many of my friends, and love every aspect of it.
Thank you for helping me to make educated decisions about movies for my
kids and my husband and myself, as well."
"Your reviews are very detailed and give me the information I need to
make decisions about which movies are appropriate for my children. Thank
you for this wonderful resource! I am passing your site on to friends.
THANKS!"
"This service is so valuable. I don't know what I'd do without your
help in screening movies. It has saved me a ton of money and agony.
Thank you and my God truly bless your staff and families."
"Love your service. It is invaluable. My wife and I check it before
anybody sees anything in our house. Keep it up."
Your Web page is WONDERFUL!!!! I have always relied on word
of mouth to know if I'd like to see a movie or not, but because everyone
has different things that are offensive to them, this has not worked
well. With your web page I don't have to go to a movie and be surprised
by the content of the movie. Thank you for providing this service and
for doing it so well."
"I would just like to thank you for this service that you provide. My
husband and I really appreciate being able to quickly review a movie's
contents and ratings for objectionable content, poor storyline, etc.
before deciding to view it ourselves. To us, this is an invaluable
service. Please continue. You are doing a wonderful job!"
"Thank you for being the most informative thing I've seen on previewing
entertainment for our children. I have told everyone I know about this
invaluable service. I am PTA President at our school and I have shared
this info with our Principal, PTA board and general membership. Thank
you again - for helping me to check out the specifics of movies before I
allow my 13 yr. old daughter and 10 yr. old son see them. I do not
allow them to seeanything PG -13 unless I've checked it with you."
"This is my first visit to your site...Judging from the info you provide
on films, this is be the first site I check when my teens ask to go to
the movies with their friends from school. At least this way I'll have
a handle on what it is EXACTLY they will be or intend to view. Thanks
for providing such a helpful service. (Heck, I'm even going to use it
for info on the films and videos my husband and I plan to watch!!
Thanks again.)"
"THANK YOU for your service. It has been VERY valuable in deciding
which movies our children should see. The descriptions of questionable
material has been the most complete of any resource we have seen. THANK
YOU again!"
"Keep up the great job. I use your services often. Your service to
parents is priceless."
Thank you. I was able to decide whether my 16 year old son
could handle an R-rated movie. your comprehensive information was
terrific. Wow!"
I really value all the info you give us. I like feeling that
I do have a clue as to what the kids will see in a movie. It is so
helpful to be able to talk through some of the issues or discuss "why
not" when we tell them they need to pick another movie. Keep up the
good work! Thank you.
"I never see a theatre movie without reading your review. Knowing the
objectionable content ahead of time helps me decide if I will see the
show or not, and if I do, when to close my eyes :). Even though my
daughter is in college, she asks me to look up videos for her as well.
At home, our son knows if you don't approve, I probably won't either.
Thank you for being there for support and information."
"Thank you so much for this wonderful service. It allows us to make
informed decisions about movies with our teenager before it becomes an
issue with his friends. I have shared your service with many of my
friends. Thanks again! Keep up the good work!"
"Thanks so much for providing such detailed information in your ratings.
It makes it so much easier to make an intelligent decision, whether we
are choosing films to view ourselves, or with our
children/grandchildren. It also enables your site visitors to choose
based on their particular values, i.e., I am particularly concerned
about violence, but while I might wince at profanity it would not stop
me from seeing, say, The Full Monty."
"I use your page every time we are going to rent a movie, or decide on
whether we let our teenagers go to a movie. Thank you for all your work
in this area, we certainly appreciate it."
I appreciate your services. I have even suggested that the video rental
store that we patronize offer your services to their customers. Great
idea! How often I have agonized over choosing a good vidoe for my
family. Now, I take the titles home, look them up on Screen-It, then go
back and rent the appropriate ones. Thank you for taking the guess work
out of renting videos!"
"I just want to tell you that you are the BEST movie/video source
available to "Strict" parents like me. It gives me all of the
information I need to make a wise choice for my younger children. Too
many parents today let their 10 year olds see PG-13 movies without
thinking about the content. I tell everyone I know about you. Thanks for
making my incredibly hard job a little easier!!"
"Thank you for your very detailed reviews. I have to carefully screen
movies for my sensitive and easily frightened 5-yr-old. Your reviews
allow me to determine which movies to pass on in the theater and, if we
go, prepare her for the film's content. Keep up the good work!"
"You've probably heard this before. Screenit is a great site.
Congratulations on your decision to keep it simple and fast. This is the
best use of the internet-- putting power in the hands of parents. As a
librarian and parent, I understand that the best defense against
censorship is information for parents."
I think screenit is a wonderful,
much-needed resource and can't thank you enough for doing it. I write
an occasional column in my weekly paper and told readers about the site
and gave the address. Thank you, thank you!"
"I enjoy your site, and it is helpful every week in deciding whether or
not to go to the movies. I also usually agree with your assessment of
films. Keep up the good work!!"
"I FIND SCREEN-IT'S SERVICE VERY USEFUL! I TELL ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT
YOU. WE DON'T SEE A MOVIE UNTIL WE CHECK IT OUT ON SCREEN-IT FIRST.
THANKS!!!"
"Thanks for being here. We don't see many movies with the kids because
there are so few out there they can see. I am thrilled to discover your
site--its quite thorough and not at all judgmental. Thanks!"
"I have greatly appreciated Screen It over the years. I have greatly
utilized the extensive descriptions and reviews to determine suitability
for my children, as well as quality for my wife and I. Thank You, keep
up the good work."
"I found this site very useful. My son wanted to go see the movie "I
Know What You Did Last Summer". I happened upon your site while
searching for info on this movie. I found out more about this movie at
your site than I could anywhere else. I am going to tell all my
friends about this site."
