Do you see anything objectionable about these scenes in a movie?

Billy is jealous of his brother's success in a class performance and pouts outside.

Billy's mom laughs at her husband when she sees the colleague he's nervous about.

At night, Billy says he's running away. He packs a bag and goes outside, then realizes he has no place to go.

When Billy tells Woody he has to obey him, Woody says it's like being "your slave."

When his mom tells him to unpack his toys, Billy grumps, suggesting he feels too old to play with "toys."

The above scenes from "How to Eat Fried Worms" are on a list of approximately 140 things in that film that are "objectionable" (or disturbing, unsettling, etc) according to this review:

The list is broken down into categories of "offenses" with a menu at the top.

I guess they're performing a valuable service. Whenever that site says that a film "contains nothing objectionable," I'll know not to waste my money on THAT film. smile.gif

Obviously the point of that site is to provide detailed information about anything that parents might not want their kids to see. Clearly this isn't aimed at adult audiences. And since some parents are over-protective, and some kids are hypersensitive (or prone to repeating anything they see), they're giving information on all kinds of stuff that most of us would never even think about.

Honestly, I don't see what you're complaining about. Unless someone is preventing you from watching what you want, I don't see a problem with providing detailed information to those who want it.
