Life After Beth
CloseFor Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Life After Beth is a zombie comedy with some romance thrown in (aka a "romzomcom"). Zombie killings mostly take place off screen, but there's lots of blood, as well as shooting, shouting, and arguing. Language is strong, with several uses of "f--k" as well as words like "c--k" and "a--hole." Characters kiss and fondle each other, with sex definitely on their minds. They do have sex in one scene, but no nudity is shown. A zombie girl is shown naked in one scene (breasts and butt). The main character smokes pot in one scene and a cigarette in another. Zombie fans will likely want to see this, as well as any big fans of stars Aubrey Plaza or Dane DeHaan.
- Sexual Content
- When Beth comes back to life, she and Zach kiss and fondle each other (clothed) a lot. They're definitely thinking about sex and planning ways to get away so they can go at it. They manage to have sex on a playground (no nudity shown). In one scene, a naked female zombie is shown, with her naked breasts and a naked bottom on view for several seconds. The main character starts to rub a scarf that belonged to his dead girlfriend over his crotch area (clothed), but he's caught.
- Violence
- Though the violence starts slowly, and most of the killings take place off screen, there's quite a bit of splattered blood on furniture, walls, and on characters' faces and clothes. Some charred bodies are found. A character cuts off her fingers to feed to a zombie, and spurting blood is shown. A man shoots an old lady in the head. Zombies are shot in the head. A zombie sets fire to a beach house. Lots of tense arguing and shouting.
- Language
- "F--k" is heard several times, in several permutations. Also words like "c--k," "a--hole," "gay," "Jesus," "bitch," "s--t," "penis," and "douchebag."
- Social Behavior
- The main character initially tries to hang onto a fantasy but eventually realizes that the truth must come out, no matter how painful.
- Consumerism
- Some Jell-O jokes early on, and Jell-O is shown. A character drives a SAAB, which is mentioned.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- A man shares some pot with the main character, who's probably in his early 20s. The main character also smokes a cigarette.
