What Parents Need to Know

About You Got Served

Parents need to know that this movie has some strong language. A brother tells his sister she is acting like a "ho" because she is out on a date. Characters deliver packages for a man who is apparently a drug dealer and there is always a strong sense of the pull of thug life. A child is shot and killed (off camera). The main characters are in general responsible, respectful, and devoted to their families. One female character is committed to education and plans to become a doctor.
