What you'll get with Plus
Reviews you can trust
Enjoy the full library of over 30,000 Common Sense Media reviews. Get unbiased ratings and detailed, age-based summaries of what's in the movies, shows, books, apps, and games your kid has been asking about. We cover everything you need to know, from violence and sex to role models and representations.
"We use Common Sense Media at least once a week for searching movie ratings, game reviews, app reviews. I think the Parent/Child rating system is awesome and HONEST!"
— Crystal D.
Entertainment guides for your kids
Get recommendations for movies (and more!) your kids will love and you'll feel good about. Choose topics and character strengths for them to explore. Flag picks that might have too much iffy content. Get top picks in your inbox weekly!
"I like the topic filters because my 9-year-old has different interests than my older sons … I’m always looking for something that she’ll like and I won’t find tedious or annoying."
— Elizabeth S.
Too many choices? We can help.
Easily narrow your recommendations to see what's streaming on Netflix, Disney Plus, or wherever you watch. Add devices and gaming platforms to find picks that work for your family. For extra guidance, browse hand-picked articles and helpful media and tech tips.
"We have Netflix, Amazon and Hulu, so I filter by those services to see what is available ... It just helps me know what is there."
— Kristi R.
