Plugged In is a monthly magazine published by Focus on the Family,[1] which reviews movies, music, general media, and pop cultural issues from a conservative Christian perspective. A religious counterpart to magazines such as Entertainment Weekly and Teen People; their reviews focus on evaluating the morals of movies as well as their artistic value.

Plugged In also notes if a movie contains subtle negative or provocative messages woven into the movie. The Passion of the Christ is a notable exception, as are a few others such as Saving Private Ryan, in that it received positive reviews despite containing a large amount of graphic violence, normally a negative aspect in the magazine. There are four main areas that Plugged In covers: movies, music, video games,[2] and television (books make appearances occasionally).
