Life After Beth
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.

A young man's recently deceased girlfriend mysteriously returns from the dead, but he slowly realizes she is not the way he remembered her. A zombie rom-com starring Aubrey Plaza and Dane DeHaan. Coming This Summer.
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.

It is strongly recommended to play thefirstandsecondgame before starting this.He thought life at the academy would never change.Everyone marched forward in the same direction, matching step for step, before he knew it, he began to surrender to that illusion.He believed that he would only arrive at the same place if he continued down the same path as everyone else.Then he realized.Just as there are as many paths as there are people, no two paths are identical.—Asako. Ive already saved the five of them, you know?So its all right, isnt it? DescriptionThis is the sequel toThe Labyrinth of Grisaia.
Zach has a choice. He can either continue to pretend like nothing is wrong, or he can start preparing for a zombie apocalypse. The directorial debut of Jeff Baena, who co-wrote 2004's brilliant (albeit polarizing), LIFE AFTER BETH is a terrific modern-day take on the classic 'Monkey's Paw' story. It depends a great deal on sly, sustained deadpan humor and weird comic detours. Some viewers may tire of repeated jokes - like the fact that smooth jazz music tends to calm the zombies, or the full-sized oven strapped to a zombie's back during a long sequence.
But these jokes are actually timed to escalate in funniness.Baena's real achievement is balancing the humor with a truly heartfelt central story. DeHaan does a remarkable job of playing it straight during his genuinely painful romantic conundrum, while Plaza finds new angles to her usual wry comic persona. The two make a powerful connection. The great supporting cast is also used to wonderful effect. It's unlikely that Life After Beth will catch on with a wide audience, but a handful of dedicated cult fans will adore it.Families can talk about Life After Beth's zombie.
