Warm Bodies - brief

Rating: 6/10 (29 November 2014)

To paraphrase the oft moaned female lament, "He couldn't keep it up." Zombie film as told from a detached, wry, dryly humorous soul. Hmm, do zombies even have souls? Pointedly funny, satirical contrast of disconnected vs dead. Brilliant flash of the zombie recollection of "happy" disconnected humanity, lurching their ways, eyes glued to cellphones and similar devices. Thirty minutes on, love enters the narrative and the overall edge wilts. Movie turns romantic, then preachy. Rom com, at least in this movie, does not equate to razor honed satire. The story gets mushy. For zombie gourmands, very few unhappy meals.
