Syndicated Newspaper Column

Call 1-800-565-4661 to find out more! Your family readers are searching for our information!
This week, they can find it in your paper! Our reviews cover the synopsis and theme of the movie, always keeping the needs of parents in mind. Our ”extras” include an easy-to-read grading system(that uses a report card style letter grade telling your readers -at a glance--what to expect in the areas of sex, language, violence, and drug/alcohol use), a concise content statement, family discussion topics, and alternate viewing suggestions. While our package varies in length, they are written in easy-to-edit modules, so you can use as much or as little as you like.

Written by Parents Who Know Children and Media!
We have a staff of contributing writers so you can be assured of getting consistent and timely content week after week. Rod Gustafson, a veteran of media industries and a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, leads the reviewing staff, all of whom are parents and understand the needs of families trying to find suitable entertainment.

Parent Previews Celebrates Over 10 Years of Newspaper Syndication!
Parent Previews (formerly Grading The Movies for Families) began as a newspaper column, long before the Internet was on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Since 1993, our columns have appeared in many North American newspapers.

Three Unique Columns to Choose From!
Parent Previews Theatrical Reviews
Reviews of movies currently playing in  theaters near you.(In most cases, the critics are timed to appear in your paper on the film’s opening day.)

Parent Previews Home Video Reviews
The same great reviews (for less money), timed to coincide with their video release dates. Reviews are updated to include DVD extras information. This option also occasionally offers  reviews of classic films recently  releasing to DVD.

Parent Previews “Movie Report Card”
The perfect combo! The information from both of our columns condensed into one weekly feature! Perfect for weeklies with little space, or dailies looking to augment their regular ”artistic” reviews. Available pre-formatted in Adobe PDF.

We also provide images for many titles.

Parent Previews Is Available for Television and Radio, too!
Rod Gustafson offers live entertainment reviews from a parent’s perspective on a weekly basis, allowing full integration with your on-air personalities. Cover theatrical and/or home video on the day the films release. Perfect for stations looking to attract a loyal family oriented audience.
