The MPAA rating system may not always offer enough information for parents to determine if the content of a film is acceptable for the maturity level of their child.
To help parents find age-appropriate movies for their children, The Salt Lake Tribune rates movies playing in Utah theaters according to the amount of sex and nudity, violence and language found in the film. A rating of one is appropriate for all ages. A rating of five is only appropriate for mature audiences.
