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.

All the language and violence is not anything you haven't seen before. The swearing was almost natural in the way that it was appropriate to the context in which was said. The zombie gore and violence was no different then 28 days/weeks later, just this movie had more spattering then just shooting. The comedy was different then shuan of the dead was still really funny. It wasn't making fun of zombies (too much) as much as the characters where just being funny.

This movie kept me and my wife entertained and laughing throughout it's duration. It was obviously a comedy with gore and violence, however, for an adult it wasn't scary at all. It has one short nude scene in the begining credits. So if you don't want nudity in the home just skip the credits in the begining and you won't hardly have any sexual content for the rest of the movie.

This is a very entertaining movie, more comedy than horror. Youth will be attracted to both, but some of the humour and scary scenes are innapropriate for any age under late-teens. Otherwise, just the sort of fare teens would greatly enjoy seeing together! See my review on YouTube: "Gab reviews Zombieland"!

My 11 year-old watched this movie before I did. She said she loved it and the special effects were great. She wasn't scared at any point of the movie. I watched it, and I don't think its really that scary. The zombies were slightly disturbing, but if you have a child who is OK with scary movies, this is great for them. The characters swore a lot, but I personally think most kids above the age of 10 can handle it. Yes, there were 2 kissing scenes, but nothing too bad. There was a lot of violence in this movie. Mostly guns. Over all, I loved this movie and so did my daughter.

very gory, but mixed with humor so ironically softens the gore and language

My MPAA rating: R for strong bloody zombie violence throughout, and for some strong language.

Great movie, just really gory. I say it should go for older teens. pretty funny move!

First off, if you think your young teens aren't going to see this, you are wrong. I had students writing about this movie in essays when I was student teaching. Is it neglectful parenting, or will finding a way? This movie has become a small part of teen culture and I think mature enough teens should be allowed to see it for that reason alone. Zombieland is a dark, flippant take on the notion of a zombie apocalypse. It concerns shut-in Columbus, who survived the Zombie Apocalypse by being a polite sort of heartless. He ends up teaming up with Tallahassee, wild man who takes pleasure in two things: killing zombies in the most violent way possible, and twinkies. Then they meet up with Wichita and Little Rock, who are trying to get to Pacific Playland, where they hear there are no zombies. For various reasons, these four survivors adventure through the landscape, swearing, committing some inappropriate acts of violence, and indulging in various chemicals as they go. The violence is almost all committed against zombies, but at least once an actual survivor is mistaken for a zombie and killed. His death is treated rather lightly. That, and the marijuana use, are really the most objectionable parts of the movie. One thing I like about the movie is its balanced look at consumerism. Brands and product placement are prominent, yes, but in some ways the movie is about life without a society that demands those brands. All these leftover consumer goods suddenly become useless except the ones that can be eaten and fresh food--even fresh processed food--is becoming a concern. The movie shows just how much we depend on consumer culture and has some plot twists that show just how dangerous pursuing those pleasures in light of more pressing concerns can be. I'm also impressed with how the movie redeems four characters who seem to have no interest in other people, weaving them into a strange little family united by grief and a will to survive. For a flippant black comedy, this movie has some great messages. I just wish they'd handle the impact of death a little better. And one last thing--aside from a few character's big mouths and the odd half-naked zombie, the sexual content here is relatively downplayed, and it is implied that Columbus wants a relationship more than sex but is so afraid of other people that he'll only pursue the latter. Given how many teen movies portray men as wanting nothing but sex, I think Columbus' attitudes are kind of refreshing.
