Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Maggie -- which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger -- is a zombie drama with an unusual (and touching) view of life and death. Adventurous teens may appreciate the movie's attempts at something different, but more traditional, die-hard zombie fans may find it slow and boring. Expect brief but very disturbing zombie violence/scares, including infected skin and creepy-crawlies, as well as dripping blood. A character breaks a finger and then chops it off. Zombies (including a child zombie) are killed, and a rifle is shown. There's some fighting, and suicide is an issue. Teens kiss in one scene, and there's a brief reference to teens getting into their dad's beer. Language is mild; just "crap" and "ass."
