How We’re Making Movie Nights More Informed with Our Parental Guide

Hey fellow parents,

If you’re anything like us, Saturday nights often involve combing through movies, hoping to pick one that everyone will enjoy — without any unexpected surprises. The vast sea of options can be overwhelming. We’ve all been there: you think a movie seems kid-friendly, and then a scene pops up that has you lunging for the remote.

That’s why we created the “Parental Guide” on 22:6 Flix.

1. Age Ratings: Think of this as a friendly neighbor’s advice. We’ll give you a heads-up, whether a film is suitable for your five-year-old or more apt for your teenager.

2. Content Heads-Up: We’re digging deep so you don’t have to.

  • Violence: From sibling squabbles to epic battles.
  • Language: A little forewarning about those unexpected words.
  • Romance: A range from first crushes to more grown-up love stories.
  • Substance Use: Because it’s better to know if it’s more than just candy being consumed.
  • Spooky Moments: We’ve got the flashlight ready for those darker scenes.

Content Symbols:

🔊 – Language Alert: Contains mild to moderate language.

❤️ – Romantic Themes: Contains scenes of romance or related themes.

👻 – Spooky Elements: Has moments that might be scary for younger viewers.

🍺 – Substance Use: Depicts alcohol, tobacco, or other substances.

⚔️ – Action Sequences: Contains scenes of action or mild violence.

🌈 – Inclusive Themes: Celebrates or features LGBTQ+ characters and narratives.

22:6 Flix Family Tiers:

Fam-Friendly (FF): Movies suitable for all ages, with innocent themes, minimal conflicts, and universally appealing content. Think of animated movies with simple storylines or movies like “Finding Nemo.”

TweenTalk (TT): Tailored for pre-teens, these movies may contain more intricate plotlines, mild action sequences, and themes of friendship, identity, or coming-of-age moments. Examples might include “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

TeenTales (TTales): Aimed at teenagers, these films deal with more mature topics such as relationships, societal challenges, and personal growth. There might be mild action, romance, and complicated moral decisions. Movies like “The Hunger Games” could fit here.

ParentPick (PP): While these movies might be family-friendly, they include themes or jokes that are more appreciated by adults, such as subtle humor, deeper life lessons, or narratives around parenting. Think of films like “The Pursuit of Happyness.”

Together Time (TTM): Movies perfect for family viewing with content suitable for a mix of age groups. These films promote family values, unity, and have storylines that both kids and adults can relate to, like “The Sound of Music.”

3. Positive Vibes: We love it when movies teach as they entertain. We’ll point out the lessons, big or small.

4. Character Breakdown: We all know kids love to imitate. We’ll spotlight the heroes and not-so-great moments.

5. A Worldly View: Some movies transport us to different cultures and times. We’ll help you travel informed.

6. Let’s Chat: After the popcorn’s done, we offer tidbits for a hearty family chat.

7. Learning Corner: A sprinkle of education in the entertainment never hurt. Find out what’s to learn with each flick.

8. Gentle Alerts: Navigating tricky topics is, well, tricky. We’ll give you a nudge when they’re approaching.

9. Book vs. Movie: When a film jumps off a book’s pages, we’ll help you compare notes.

10. Parent’s Corner: Let’s face it, we value advice from those in the same boat. Hear from other parents about their movie moments.

11. Curiosity Path: Dive deeper with us. We’re always exploring and love sharing our finds.

We built our “Parental Guide” like we’re chatting over a backyard fence, sharing insights on the latest films our families have watched. Think of 22:6 Flix as that ever-reliable friend, armed with movie snacks and advice.

So, grab your popcorn and let’s make movie nights memorable — for all the right reasons!

Processing…
Success! You're on the list.
