Warm Bodies, a warm zom com

Rating: 8/10 (20 April 2013)

director Jonathan Levine has done a fine job with this one. initially i was apprehensive about going for this movie as it was being distributed by summit entertainment (we all know how dreadful the twilight saga was).i decided to go anyway, but once the movie started i was relieved as it was a very fresh and different flick. new fresh faces of Nicholas Hoult (who plays R, the zombie) and Teresa Palmer (who plays Julie,R's love interest,HUMAN!) have done a splendid job.
Rob Corddry as M (R's best zombie buddy) does a superlative job. (i personally feel he's one of the best actors for a comic role at present. his witty sense of humor adds the extra zing the movie needed.
Dave Franco, the younger brother of James Franco, is slowly rising as the next big young star. he was seen in a small role in the movie Fright Night. he has a small but important role in this movie. he plays Perry ,Julie's fiancé who is initially scared of zombies and hates them as the zombie plague claimed his dad.
the next star in the movie is a big one, John Malkovich! he plays the stone cold col. grigio. it was good to see him in this role after is last brief venture( the disappointing Transformers: Dark Of The Moon) i mean what was he thinking? . but he adds the serious touch in the movie. as zombies killed his wife he wants to kill all the zombies (in short hates them to the core)
Analeigh Tipton as Nora, Julie's best friend, is sweet and does justice to her brief role.
Cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe is very modern.
the story is inspired from the book by Isaac Marion 'Warm Bodies'.
so the film focuses on the development of the relationship between Julie, a young woman, and "R", a zombie, and how their eventual romance develops throughout. The film is noted for displaying human characteristics in zombie characters, and for being told from a zombie's perspective.
R is a young zombie who has no idea about how the zombie breakout took place (or when it happened), his age, even his name!!! his best friend is M(Marcus), yes a zombie, they at their normal hangout place- the airport and they 'almost' have conversations. (their conversations don't go beyond 'hhhhuummmhh' hhhhhhhhnnnn' 'hhm?'). so R's life is pretty much boring. but one day while searching for food they come across Perry,Julie and Nora and a few others. while R kills Perry, he falls in love with Julie and saves her from other zombies and takes her to his crib (an airplane) he falls head over heels for her. Julie too starts thinking he's different. his new found feelings slowly changes him from zombie to human. and this in-turn changes M and other zombies too (their hearts beat,they start speaking clearly(well somewhat),they start having dreams etc etc. but R confesses to Julie that he killed Perry and she leaves.
how he travels to win her back and together with the help of Nora, M and zombie and human armies defeat Boneys(zombies which can't be changed back, they eat anything with a heartbeat) and convince Col. Grigio that zombies can be changed back to humans forms the rest of the story.
as a whole the movie is a perfect date movie and single people can enjoy it as well....it is that movie that you can watch and lighten up. i'd give it 8 on 10.
