Loved this MOVIE! Though thier was responsible hesitance on Hudson's and Crudup's part for the coarse scenarios involved in this movie, the scenarios on thier own included a light seducing scene between young adults and a teenageer with, strong drinking and smoking, and racy clothed women.
If it's nudity you're concerned about - there's only very brief upper female nudity. There's sexual references of course because the girls are groupies and at one point discuss the main character's virginity (but you don't see the actual sex at all).
Swearing, drinking and drugs would be the other concerns. Kate Hudson's character overdoses when she gets upset. At a party, there is drinking and drugs such as acid.
Swearing; just 'f--k' and 'sh-t' here and there but nothing more than this.
Definitely for older kids 13+, might be a bit iffy for 12 year olds if you're willing to let them see breif nudity and use of drugs.
This is a very funny movie. I saw it in the theaters when it was released but also watched it last night on DVD with my 14 year old daughter and she really enjoyed it. Yes there are a few bad words but all in all this is a really tame R-rated movie. You can really have fun with discussions afterward about "the rock lifestyle" and how things have changed. The main character, a 15 year old boy, ends up writing an article for Rolling Stone Magazine. I thought it was good for my daughter to see that something like that could happen with a bit of perseverance, pushiness and talking to the right people. This is loosely based on Cameron Crowes life and he directed it so I guess he ought to know. Very good movie overall.
Great movie! I loved it! But it's definitely not for children or tweens. It's all about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll and they aren't shy about any of it in this movie.
I thought almost famous was the best movie because i love the actresses Kate Hudson, Anna Paquin and Zooey Deschannel. And i also thought the actor Patrick Fugit was really awesome too because that was his first major lead in a major motion picture. And his drama teacher in utah sent his audtion tape in to hollywood. i thought it was absoulety an amazing journey for him. I've like to own the directors cut edition to listen to the commentary
a really good movie that never bores you. great for teens and great for people who love music some sensuality but it doesn't push it very brief nudity it lasts about 0.7 seconds and u cant really see much.
