The movie was hilarious. I wouldn't recommend you let young children watch it but it was hilarious. It is graphic as far as the language goes and there are some shots of nudity but overall its funny. I say any teenager could watch this but most importantly when deciding, know your kids. My 12 year old kid brother watches way worse movies and hes perfectly fine and actually a bit of an over achiever.

What Parents Need to Know
About Serial Mom
Parents need to know that there is considerable violence and killing here. Splattery gore happens both in video clips from famous horror movies (which are praised as entertainment, over more wholesome movies like Annie) and in the "real" narrative. There are depictions of sex and male masturbation and brief glimpses of topless/pornographic magazines. A Catholic mass is ridiculed. The swearing gets really vile in places, and, like the violence, it's meant as a contrast to the tame-looking situation-comedy milieu.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the fascination with serial killers. How can a law-and-order society like the United States simultaneously make folk heroes out of mass murderers it condemns? Is the media to blame? Is Waters' sitcom-funny take on this pathology part of the problem or part of the solution? Parents can ask kids what they think of serial-killer trading cards, comics, or Web sites.

maybe not the best for young children
I saw it like last year on tv so i have not exactly seen anything like bad bad in the movie except one part when my parents put their hands over my eyes but you can see it coming.I personally thought it was sorts funny how the woman was soooo physo.And how just cuz she killed one person in the begining she ended up killing lots.My fav part is when this woman is sitting at home watching Annie and Beverly sneaks in and beats the woman with some ham.
