I forgot I didn't write anything about this one. I got it from the redbox a while back and endeavored to watch it on a day when I took a 2 hour lunch. I love zombie movies, but I wasn't sure how I felt about this zombie horror-comedy. It was no Shaun of the Dead, but it wasn't unwatchable either.
I was shocked to see the kid from About a Boy all grown up and handsome! To me he will always be Marcus with the dorky sweater and bad haircut.
I think this movie needed more Malkovich. He is good, as he always is, but not in it enough.
The movie centers around R. who is a zombie. I did like the voiceover from his POV, of a 'zombie' who has some recollection of being alive. He finds and saves Julie (? Get it....like romeo and juliet...oh, clever lol) ...after eating her boyfriend and stealing his memories. I didn't quite get this part.
I'm tired so I'm not going to really recap it further. It was worth watching, has some cute moments, I like the soundtrack, and the idea of the zombies being able to "come back" and be human again. Even if it doesn't make sense when I think of every other zombie movie ever made.
I rented it for the Malkovich, but I stayed for the zombies!
