"LA LA LAND"
Rated PG-13 for some language.
What it's about: A jazz pianist and aspiring actress fall in love in the city of angels.
The kid attractor factor: Stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, as well as the traditional old school musical style.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Never give up on your dreams; sometimes the timing is just off. Those who love you the best believe in you and support your dreams.
Violence: None
Language: Only brief strong language.
Sexuality: Romantic kisses between the two leads (and others), but no explicit sexuality.
Drugs: Drinking but no hard drugs.
Parents advisory: This sweet, if at times melancholic, throwback musical is appropriate for older kids and teens.
