Garage Sale Mysteries: The Art of Murder (2017)
Not for all ages, despite it being Hallmark
Good story line and great acting, but as a Hallmark movie (whose channel usually is labeled as 'family friendly') I was disappointed in how graphic it was. Yes, it is a murder mystery, but there were several points in the movie where I found myself wondering how Hallmark got away with rating it only as PG. There were two scenes in particular which showed a substantial amount of blood and the action of shooting was shown in full, with the murderer then carrying their victim to a chair to finish bleeding to death. It was very morbid, in my opinion, in comparison to the other Garage Sale Mystery movie I had seen. If I had kids, I would take great care in assessing their maturity before allowing them to watch it.
Sing (2016)
Not as innocent as it seems
I was not impressed with this film at all. It is supposedly targeted at young kids and families, but I do not agree. I did not appreciate the casual, off-hand references to adult content. Twerking (when the bunnies are auditioning to a Nikki Manaj song, swinging their behinds at the audience and singing 'Oh my God, look at her butt'), smoking drugs (at a party/club one of the animals looks at an inhaler and asks "What do you smoke in this?"), and the underlying fact that one of the animals is living with her boyfriend. Depending on the values that parents want to instill in their children, this movie is questionable. Because young kids are like sponges that soak up everything they see and hear, parents need to be careful and considerate before showing this film to their children.
