Common Sense Media Rates 4 New Releases, Recommending Ages 7 to 17

1 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jul 3

Summary

  • Common Sense Media pegged “Minions & Monsters” for ages 7+, “Enola Holmes 3” for 12+, “Elle” for 13+ and “Jackass: Best and Last” for 17+ in its latest parent guide.
  • “Minions & Monsters” earned a PG review despite cartoon violence, giant-monster destruction, weapons and one use of strong language, with the outlet saying its tone stays light and friendship-focused.
  • At the older end, “Jackass: Best and Last” drew the strictest warning for violent stunts, injuries, vomiting, defecation, graphic male nudity, strong profanity and beer drinking.
  • Between those poles, Netflix’s “Enola Holmes 3” was flagged for action peril, blood and references to war and colonialism, while Prime Video’s “Elle” was described as teen-friendly despite bullying, flirting and drinking references.
  • The four reviews span theatrical films, streaming movies and an eight-episode series, giving parents a quick age-based guide across major new family and teen releases.
