10 "Date Night" Movies for Parents

Almost Famous

Rated: R

Year: 2000

Cast: Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson, Patrick Fugit, Frances McDormand

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. In this coming-of-age movie, 15-year-old William lands a dream assignment from Rolling Stone to tour with his favorite rock band, and discovers bittersweet pleasures on the road.

What Parents Like: Lines like: "These people are not your friends," from a seasoned rock critic warning William. William's fiercely protective mom has far simpler orders: "Don't take drugs!"

Pucker Up: As couples go, Crudup is a groovin' guitarist and Hudson is a wise and wild-child groupie.
