The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

'Fame'

Rated: PG.

Suitable for: Tweens and up.

What you should know: This is a reinvention of the 1980 musical about students at a New York performing arts high school. It follows a dozen or so teens from auditions through graduation.

Language: Brief profanity and less than a dozen mild expletives.

Sexual situations and nudity: Kisses are exchanged, and a young man tries to take advantage of a young woman, but she calls a halt to it quickly.

Violence/scary situations: There is a failed suicide attempt and reference to a student's younger sister who was shot and killed.

Drug or alcohol use: A girl gets drunk for the first time, partygoers mention doing shots, and adults briefly are shown with wine or other drinks.
