(B-) Daddy Day Care

Genre:
MPAA Rating:     Audience: Kindergarten - 3rd Grade
This is the sort of movie that Hollywood can churn out in its collective sleep and audiences can watch without really waking up. It is as bland and predicable as a package of Kraft Macaroni and ch...

(B-) Dark Shadows

Genre: Thriller
MPAA Rating: PG-13     Audience: High School

(B-) Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

Genre: Gross-out
MPAA Rating: PG-13     Audience: Mature High Schooler
