Frequently asked
What's a family movie everyone will like?
The Pixar slate (Inside Out 2, Coco, Soul) rates highest because adults rate them as highly as kids. We surface them first when family groups choose Fairness mode.
Are these safe for younger kids?
Yes. When any group member has the kid role, we apply a cert ceiling: PG by default for under-10, PG-13 for 10-12. The admin can override per session if the kids are already asleep.
How long is too long for family movie night?
We tag runtime per title; movies over 130 minutes get a 'long evening' note. Families with younger kids tend to keep picks under 110 minutes - the Sommelier weights this automatically once you've voted on a few.
