Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is both a romantic drama and a horror-action movie, just like the 2009 mash-up book by Seth Grahame-Smith (which itself was inspired by Jane Austen's classic novel). There's a lot of zombie violence, though it's largely bloodless, with more suggested than actually shown. Still, zombies are killed, and there are some scary and/or gross images, as well as martial arts fighting, swords, blades, guns, battles, and explosions. Characters talk a great deal about marrying each other; there's one scene of passionate kissing and a flirty fight scene during which a male character pops the button off the top of a woman's dress, exposing a bit more of her cleavage. Language isn't an issue, and characters drink only in social settings.

Violence
Zombie attacks, zombie fighting (though a large portion is more implied than shown). Slicing and slashing with knives/swords. Guns and shooting; a gun backfires in a woman's hand, leaving a bloody wound. Severed limbs, beheadings, and exploding heads, but little blood/gore shown.
