I know my son is young and will not be watching movies for another year or two, but I found some websites in Good Housekeeping July 2009 that can help parents find out why a DVD or TV show is rated PG-13 among other options. I think as a parent it's good to know where to turn when you are questioning what is appropriate for your school aged child.
