No positive highlights yet
I use Common Sense to find out more about the content of a film. Both the more and less positive aspects of a film often aren't apparent on a site like Rotten Tomatoes.
The entire thing is just boomers calling whatever they deem "inappropriate" bad, and basically always considering it detrimental to the quality of whatever game or movie they're $#*!ting on. There is some semblance of sanity in the non-"parent" reviews though.
Theres not much to say that others havent said, but they value diversity, positive role models, positive messages, and inclusive characters way to much. One thing that really made me mad was them praising megamind vs the doom syndicate for making the female characters more intelligent than most males. Thats not something to be proud of, thats just annoying, woke and annoying. Also the fact that you have to pay to look at reviews is stupid. The only redeeming factor is that its funny to see adults complaining about dumb things because thats literally all you will see. Just use the imdb parents guide its free and better.

Overall there website lagging cause' it to be difficult to even create an account sitting on an indefinite loading screen multiple times because there website either can't handle the foot traffic or just because of some problem within there website.

website lag causes it to be overall just wasted potential

Some of the age ratings they give are shocking. If any video game has some red mist in it, automatic 18+, because I guess it'll traumatized anyone under the age of 18. They even rated The Master Chief Collection 18+. I could've handled that game when I was 12. Terrible, money hungry website that claims to be non profit.
Tip for consumers:
Don’t listen to the majority of the reviews.
Common Sense Media has, on multiple occasions, over-rated thing, countless video games rated 17 and 18+ Most of them being rated by a government organization (the ESRB) as E10+ or T. And they straight up lie about content, adding random things to up the age rating to fit their agenda, absolutely bulls**t. Do not use. (Also even though they claim to be a non-profit, they blatantly charge you money to read more than 3 "reviews", and you can even read them again) Again, DO NOT USE.
Tip for consumers:
Do not use this site. It’s a scam

I decided to see a review for a game my kid really wanted. Apparently saying the phrase "oh, for goodness sake" is a reference to a Japanese alcoholic beverage. I then decided to compare it to a movie I know that it's plot basically involves a teen taking drugs and being high as heck in the movie. They gave the game a 2/5 drinking/drugs rating, but the movie only a 1/5 rating for drinking/drugs. Also, one f-bomb is worse than basically a book containing all the other swear words except for f*ck.
Tip for consumers:
Just dont

Forget about getting and use out of this so-called non-profit unless you pay for a "plus" membership. Unbelievable that you are limited to 3 "free" reviews a month. Very disappointed in this formerly useful service.

I've read quite a few of their so called media reviews for movies. They are 100% bias and not based on fact for the most part. I have seen ratings from them on G rated childrens movies claiming that they are too sexual in nature because a man looks at a woman. Good idea. Horrid execution. They need to shut down their business and do something that's actually worthwhile.

Don’t waste your time. They are 100% inept at their job

After reading some of the movie reviews on shows I've already watched I was genuinely horrified at the content descriptions. "The " positive " themes contain sexism against males, which isn't at all positive." - comment in relation to a character that went through a bad breakup with an abusive (male) partner. The reviews on there play like a long list of angry church moms and bitter dads.
Once were good a year ago, since then they seem to have been "compromised" by the industry... split up reviews "by teens" and "by parents" obviously pitting children against parents, and attempting to basically shill for the movie/Netflix industry by playing down serious disturbing content, or making light of dangerous subjects (see their ridiculous "this is great story" reviews about Squid Game, something that NO CHILD should be watching, anyone under 18)
Backed by Gates, Mark Z and Benzos. Facts are left out to help with context. Everything has a leftist slant. Hopefully, find a news agency that has real common sense and just reports the news in full context. It's not this trash.

They complain when a girl has too big of a chest or when one character drinks beer. The whole website is laughable. They don't give any insight to the plot, I don't even get why parents trust this website. They even bashed spongebob, the most innocent show out there. The "expert reviewer" doesn't even watch the whole show. For example, they said Fairy Tail (an anime) had no moral lessons and showed seduction and violence. It's pretty clear that they don't watch at least a few episodes and make a review right off the bat.
Tip for consumers:
Just don’t use it. It’s not trustworthy. As you can see from the photos, they dared to say Spongebob Squarepants is violent
Years ago, I looked to this site as a good place to see if movies and or television shows were good for children. Then something happened. It's all about wokness. Any sort of Real review about how good the move you may be is thrown out the window. It's all about how diverse the cast is and any sort of inclusiveness- no matter how obscure.
They betrayed me, I cannot return, I am locked by them, They do not wanna Let Me Go, that means, I had just 3 Revies allowed and Now I must pay for More, They live from Our Money. She Was in Beldam World 3 Times, And I has three reviews and Not I am Fired off. Mother$#*!ers, I now must pay for premium for month or year If I want to Stay. They Are Toxic and Evil, They takes our monay, they really do not wanna help us
You have to pay to read more then 3 reviews a month and its all just some karens telling bull$#*! about TV shows and stuff. Imagine liking a show and then you go on this trash website with a bunch of karens saying that its violent. Also when you write a review sometimes it would say it contains alcoholic stuff for no reason. And the worst part is people actually believe in those dumb review and you know how it ends up. No fr about 5 people said spongebob squarepants was 18+ like the dumbest reasons. I can not believe that this website is still running its so Bad.
Tip for consumers:
dont use it sucks
What a joke. I won't be using this site anymore. IMDb has a decent enough parental guide, and oftentimes is more detailed. In fact, there have been several times where this site's reviews were simply inadequate, leaving out crucial information a parent would want to know. And now they want to lock them behind a paywall? Don't use this site.
Terrible awful site. They don't know what they're talking about and only negatives about it. *******

I usually write pretty thorough reviews, but for this site, there's not much to say about it. For one, it used to be good. Then they over exaggerated everything to the max. Most critics on Common Sense Media don't even have kids, miss obvious details in every game, movie, or book, and if they even held it, they didn't finish it. If you go on this website, only look at the kid reviews. The parents are just as overprotective as the critics. The kids are the ones who experienced it. They will tell you what you want. It's also full of spam...
The scumbags are trying to charge for user-generated content. Absolutely disgraceful.
Use kids-in-mind.com instead.
CSM is a poorly strung together reviewing site full of misunderstood/unreliable critics that can't review anything correctly regardless of what it is. I personally think it wants parents to be overprotective and overly cautious when it comes to their children on the internet, and that is not right. Please do look at my photos of three different ratings. SpongeBob and Invader Zim were once my childhood. (And Invader Zim has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.) How can they give 2 children's TV shows 3 stars and Borat 2, which is full of sex and crude humor 4 stars? This is B. S. I suppose their very generous rating is 3 stars for most, and if it's out of this world, it's 4 or 5. CSM tries to be as critical as they can in providing their reviews, always inserting some text in the description that gives it a downside, like the repetitive use of "iffy content" in reviews. Parents and all who plan to use this mess of a site, please stand clear of it. You should not believe a word that comes out of the critics' mouths, however, I can assure you that the audience will be more in depth and truthful with their reviews. But that doesn't stop me from staying away from this site.
Tip for consumers:
Don't think about using it; keep riding along the Internet for a better review site.
They pretend they're a family-friendly, faith-based organization - but they're far from it. If you look deeply into their reviews, they actually bash faith-based films while giving great reviews to sick and twisted movies.
Don't trust these guys. They'll go on a Thursday to the box office to try to up their competitors with a negative movie review. Horrible people running this website.
Movie critics in general are simply losers who wish they could be filmmakers. They will be forgotten as that heavy-set critic with glasses who died - roger something. Movies live on - critics don't.

I read Ms. Schonfeld's review of 'Slamma Jamma' and you can pull your hair out. The film is a beautiful portrayal of a man searching for Christ. She obviously doesn't get it. But why would she? She's never directed or written a film in her entire life. Her gravestone will read: "I'm a movie critic and I'm better than all the directors, writers and producers combined. I'm a movie critic." You laugh. What parent tells their children to someday grow up to be movie critics?
They used to be a good resource but now they are trash. I supposed they must have gotten desperate for money and started selling positive reviews for stuff that is absolute trash that no parent would actually want their kids to watch.
They claim their methodologies are backed by science but all of their sources are special interests, not actual unbiased science and statistical analysis.
Note the movies common sense media loves are all hated by parents and the positive reviews by kids are obviously not actually written by kids.
This website always get away with giving good movies bad reviews and it only cares about educational tv.
We believe in media sanity, not censorship. We believe that media has truly become "the other parent" in our kids' lives, powerfully affecting their mental, physical, and social development. We believe in teaching our kids to be savvy, respectful and...
