What Parents Need to Know
About Chasing Liberty
Parents need to know that this movie is aimed squarely at 13-year-old-girls. It contains implied nudity, strong language and smoking and drinking (it takes place in Europe where drinking is legal at age 18). Characters also lie and steal without any second thoughts or consequences. Liberty and Ben leave a restaurant without paying and lie to get a free gondola ride. A girl begins to explain the appeal of a pierced tongue, but is stopped before she can finish. Liberty complains about not getting a chance to get to "third base." Liberty twice takes her clothes off in front of Ben (nothing shown), once intending to seduce him, but he refuses. Even after they declare their feelings for each other, they do not have sex, a refreshing departure for the norm in this genre.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how Liberty's situation is just an exaggerated version of the struggles that all parents and teenagers have over independence. Why did Liberty try to get Ben to have sex with her? Why did he turn her down? What made them like each other? Families might want to read up on Alice Roosevelt, the headstrong and outspoken daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. When asked why he did not stop her from getting into trouble, he replied that he could control the affairs of state, or control Alice, but could not possibly do both.

Pretty good
A pretty good and pretty funny romantic comedy. Mandy Moore is good in this, although I do have to say I like her better as a singer. One scene of nudity and sexual references that get stopped just before they get dirty. If you're over 10, I think you'll get okay with this.

cute
For a teenage fluff romance it was really pretty cute. Mandy Moore is fun to watch. I appreciate the fact that she isn't a tiny little, emaciated modle. She is tall and has curves and looks like a real person. Also, aside from one drunk, skinny-dipping scene, she always dresses modestly. The guy she falls for is just the type most moms would approve of: responsible, capable, educated and cute. The shots of Europe were lovely and good for expanding young horizons. True, the plot was predictable, but then it is definetely written for teen girls and they'll love it. Get some popcorn and enjoy.
