Family Movie Reviews

If we asked you to make a list of the movies you loved most as a kid, we bet you could do it without even blinking. Movies are a big thing for kids. Seriously, how many times did you watch The Neverending Story or ET or The Wizard of Oz?

As animated shows become more adult-like and puppets aren't always just for kids anymore, it can be difficult to tell what your family should be watching. Spout has you covered, though, thanks to our family movie reviews. In fact, most of the movies you find at Spout will come with at least one straight up movie review (or several!) so you can get a feel for the film. And since Spout members can create their own movie blogs, you can see what other users are saying and which movie recommendations they make.

That's right, real parents like you who love movies and love their kids are leaving real reviews and a movie recommendation for nearly every occasion. It takes all types of movies and people to make an online movie community work, and at Spout, that includes parents and family movie reviews. They’re a valued part of our community.

Sign up at Spout and find out what exactly this means for you and your family.

Here's an example: When you type in a search for the movie Cars, you get several reviews from Spout members, as well as a review from All Movie Guide. On the same page, you get links to discussions about this movie, filmblogs that mention it, lists of movies that Spout members have included it in, along with other helpful information. You can even put it directly in your Netflix or Blockbuster queue—all from the same page.

As a member here at Spout, you can share your parental movie reviews with the rest of the community, as well as rate, tag, list, discuss, and blog any movie you want—for you or the kids. And when you find some winners you just have to see, you can click over to the Spout store and buy 'em.We don’t have to tell you--being a parent ain't easy. So, after you figure out how to get that cheese slice out of the DVD player, wouldn't be nice to have a good, trustworthy family movie to put in there?

The Importance of Family Movie Reviews

Family movie reviews are a great way for you to help take the Internet back, as well.

You know all about the importance of parenting when it comes to your kids and the Internet. At Spout, we believe that goes beyond preventative measures like watching the web sites they visit and who they talk to. The Internet can be a great place for you to be proactive and find the things you actually want your kids to see, (even movies you'd like to enjoy right along with them).

Spout is that one-of-a-kind online movie community that, in addition to offering family and parental movie reviews, offers features you love and can enjoy for your grownup self. The whole time you’re having fun, you’re also gaining valuable, helpful information.

Why does all of this work so well? Because Spout members take movies seriously. It's a significant part of our members' lives. They enjoy watching 'em, talking about 'em, making movie recommendations, and generally helping others to derive as much pleasure and satisfaction out of watching movies as they do. And whether it's leaving family movie reviews, compiling referential lists, or just bagging on bad films, all movie fans can be critics at Spout. When they are, everybody benefits. And family movie reviews are just one part of that.

There are two really unique features about Spout that really multiply the effectiveness of family movie reviews: tagging and list-making.

When I say, A Bug's Life, what is the first word that comes to your mind? That's a tag. Make a bunch of them and you have a tag cloud—a collection of one-word movie reviews. You can tag movies and follow other Spout members' tags for a cool and unconventional way to find new movies for your family.
