Parents need to know that Serving Sara is a 2002 movie in which Matthew Perry plays a New York City process server who is sent to serve divorce papers to a jilted wife played by Elizabeth Hurley who has plans to get even with her philandering Texas oil millionaire husband. There is frequent profanity, including "a--hole," "s--t," "son of a bitch," and "numb nuts." Characters are selfish, greedy, and not very likable; two rival process servers lie, cheat, and do everything they can to prevent the other from succeeding, even going so far as to open a pet crate at an airport so a vicious dog can attack the rival and leave large, bloody claw marks on his face. This same character is later shot in the rear end while trying to spy on a Texas ranch. To get a free room, a character raises her shirt and exposes her breasts (not shown) to the motel clerk. In a scene on a ranch, the lead character, mistaken for a veterinarian, is given the unpleasant task of sticking his hand into the anal cavity of an impotent bull so it will be aroused and inseminate a fake cow painted with lipstick to resemble a woman, which is shown moving in a sexual rhythm once the bull is aroused. The humor is largely cynical and negative, and there are instances of humor being used to fat-shame.
