I went to see this with my 12 year old nephew and he laughed the whole way thru it. I would have taken my 9 year old son but he was with his father. There are alot more scary things out there then zombies. I don't think rating should be done by age it should be up to the parents and kids. I watch all kinds of horror movies with my parents starting at 3 alot of parents did and we turned out just fine. I really don't think we should leave it up to a bunch of strangers to tell us what our kids can or can't watch.

What Parents Need to Know
About Zombieland
Parents need to know that, in keeping with its title, Zombieland is full of zombie violence, whether it's the zombies dispatching humans or being dispatched themselves. Although much of the mayhem is played for laughs and the film's overall tone is lighthearted, there's tons of gore (shootings, bludgeonings, stabbings, flesh eating, and more), as well as scary depictions of the end of the world. Also expect frequent strong language (including "f--k" and then some), some drinking, and one scene of drug use.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the film's mocking tone. Can a film mix brutal violence and comedy? Horror and humor? How does the comedic tone affect the impact of the violence?
- Why do you think zombies are such a popular movie subject? What do zombie movies tend to have in common? Why are they so often also about the end of the world?

I'm not a zombie, this is just my morning face
the point is, once again, do you think your kids can handle it? or do you think every morning when your droopy and getting up to get some coffee your son/daughter thinks your a zombie and will shoot you. So its on you. As for the "i gave my kid a shotgun just in case" guy, i really hope you were being sarcastic and your not just a looney bird.

Great Movie!
This was an AWESOME movie! I am 13 and I went and saw it with my friends. We all loved it. It was very violent and gory, but extremely funny at the same time. Also there were several uses of F***. But nothing most teens can't handle.

Perfect for 13 year olds to see with adults
I am 13 and my dad had no idea that this movie was rated R. We got in it had some swearing and gore and violence. When we got out my dad didn't say anything he still thought it was PG 13 so when I told him he was shocked and a bit mad but it was really funny and not to inamprpriate.

Gory Zombie Film that will leave you laughing hysterically!!!
Zombieland is supposed to be a horror film but it is mean't to be a comedy. It was gory but it has a good storyline and it was a fantastic film. this was the first zombie film iv'e ever watched. this movie maybe a nightmare inducer for some children. Parents are advised to know your teen well before you see this film. Overall this film is a gory but hilarious take on zombies. Welcome to Zombieland!!!

the teen comedy of the year!
This movie is amazing! Most teenagers should be able to see this movie and by the way it is fairly violent but if you let your teen play M rated games than this shouldn't be much of a difference.

Fantastic film, will alert children to danger of zombies
Zombieland takes the very real zombie threat and manages to make it into a comedy not quite so different from the British effort Shaun of the Dead. It's hilarious and violent, yet educational, as it shows kids that zombies are also dangerous. I teach my thirteen-year old son to always be prepared, and as such, I have given him a shotgun and a plan.

A must-see for teens 14+
I love this movie. if they can handle large doses of gratuitous violence, any teen 14+ should consider seeing this film. Necks are bitten, achilles tendons are ripped out, and intestines are snacked on, among other grotesquely humorous instances.

Violent, But Funny
This is a know your kids situation. Yes, it is a bit violent and gory, but it is counterbalanced by its hilarity. Personally, I loved it, but this is not a movie that you can take your kids along to if you can't find a babysitter.

Funny!
Wow, this was a really good zombie movie with tons of humor and wit. It is a tad violent though, but 13 year olds should be able to handle it.
