Bad for tweens but good for older people
I have watched the movie (Even if i was 8 yrs old) and i think this is a good movie but the language,drinking and behavior isn't good. I watched it by my self. I would love the movie if there wasn't any bad language,drinking and behavior.

Ok so this movie is good but it was a lot different than i thought it would be. It was dramatic. It was a drama:). I don't usually like dramas but this was an acception. There was a seen where one girl was drunk, quite a bit of language, and just a little bit of sexual stuff. Nothing my kids haven't heard of or seen before. Great movie and it was good because it tells how you can live your dream even if someone doesn't believe in you!

Parents need to Know
Parents need to know that it's rated R (for 17+) in the 80s, but csm says that 17+ rating is for 15+, and also, parents need to know that sexual and sexy is not a bad word, but not a term for kids to use. but one f--k.

Yuck
Okay, I saw this movie when I saw was nine because it was PG. But now I know it is not okay for kids younger than 12, and it's probably pause even then! The drinking is over the top and innapropriate, and the whole movie is really bad.

Enjoy my little story
I was SO disappointed. One of my friends and I were going to see Fame because it's kinda nice that it was a remake of an old ''famous'' movie... I am so glad we didn't go. Unfortunately, my mom grew up on the original movie- forgetting it was R- my brother thought it would be a nice surprise to get the movie for her. So we sat down and started watching it. Immediately I saw and recognized to Disney channel ''stars'' so I figured this could not be bad... I was wrong. A few minutes into it I saw a not so ''boyish'' boy to say the least. OK, I know what your thinking, so what, that's the world we live in. A few moments later I heard something that is not appropriate for a PG movie- witch is normally appropriate for 8+- if I'm not mistaken it was the ''S' word. Then I heard others. Soon I started hearing more and more. I questioned myself if this was really PG. After the ''BIG'' wave of profanity passed I saw a DISNEY star DRUNK- and she said it was to ''expand her life experience'', not the type of ideas I would want to give a teen viewer... if you catch my drift. Anyways, to my long story short, even though the rating is PG, moms, go with the original rating, R. Kassie

Should of been PG-13, but still a great movie!
Ok, here's my review on Fame. The violence is practically nothing but two things. One is where a boy is kicked out of the school and almost jumps in front of a train. The other is a student often talks about his family's past, which is quite disturbing. The sex is all kissing. Several kissing between kids, and one that gets quite sensual. Some dances are sensual also. The drinking is more than an usual PG has to offer. One scene a girl tries to get drunk and throws up after she does it. Several kids are drinking at a party, and sometimes the teachers are there too. Lots of underage drinking. Last, the language. OK , where do I start? Here's the basics of what they said: s--t," "bulls--t," "a*s," "b***h," go***mn," "a--hole," "my God," "hell," "screw," "retarded," and a few more. Definetely one of those PG movies that expands over the rating, and deserves to be PG-13. Great for mature 11 year olds and up!

Could have been PG-13
Fame is a remake from a movie made in the 1980s or something. That movie was rated R, so they had to tone it done quite a bit to make is PG. But I don't think they toned it down enough. There's a lot of sensual dancing, and a handful of language. (Some other stuff, too.) But overall, I loved the movie.
