Remember that although many of the library databases provide MLA citations for electronic sources, it is your responsibility as a student to ensure that all of your citations are correct. 

Be sure to compare any database generated citations to the library's MLA guides online (link below), the official MLA Handbook (located at the second floor Reference Desk), or your Little Seagull Handbook.

If the title of your film is a phrase, e.g. A Bad Moms Christmas, try putting quotation marks around it when you search in Google, e.g. "A Bad Moms Christmas" This tells Google that you are searching for a phrase.

If you are not finding sources on your particular show you could try searching on depictions of a particular group, issue, or relationship in films, e.g. depictions of Latinos in films, depictions of marriage in films, depictions of bullying in films. These more general articles can still be helpful sources of information.
