What Parents Need to Know
About Hustle & Flow
Parents need to know that the movie, focused on the efforts of a pimp trying to change his life, features explicit references to sex and prostitution (as well as scenes in a strip club). Characters use harsh language, smoke, drink, do drugs, have sex, and fight with one another, on occasion drawing blood. Women wear scanty clothing.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the obstacles DJay tries to overcome, including poverty and lack of education. How are his ideas shaped by media images (music videos, news)? How does music help him gain another perspective on his life? How is this pimp and drug dealer simultaneously appalling and sympathetic? How does he treat the women around him?

I rate this title on for age 17 and give itA true depiction of a lot of people in the star's position.
I believe this story of DJay was a true depiction of lots of people seeking stardom to get out of a bad situation. I do believe that all of the language, violence, etc. was not at all exaggerated. It is life for some people in the star's position. Although it was not the greatest movie ever made, it was a good story.

"Keep hustlin..." and find another movie
The movie tries hard to be philosophical and humane, and in some ways, it succeeds. Great acting by Howard actually draws sympathy and makes you cheer for the pimp by the end (who woulda thunk?)but the movie is still so gritty and raw (along with the script) you might wish you hadn't seen it. And after watching 2 hours of sweaty, sticky hoes and pimps, the only thing you leave with is a catchy song and the feeling that you need to take a shower. and by the way, this movie is definitely NOT for kids...
