A great zombie movie that isn't about killing zombies

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2013)

I would have to say that I enjoyed this film immensely. It is somewhat different from most films in the genre in that it has a focus on curing rather than killing the zombies. It is also a zombie rom-com where the use of M as a third person narrator as well as as the main character works surprisingly well. Nicolas Hoult has a shining career in front of him if he plays his cards right. Rob Cordry joins him in giving the movie a comedic edge as well as Courdry also giving a somewhat decent dramatic performance. I would have top say that normally I don't like him in many of the movies he is in, but in this one he really works. Annaleigh Tipton also delivers some comedic value even though she is very little on screen, something I think was good for the movie as she plays that annoying friend character that I would like to say often ruins many otherwise decent movies. Teresa Palmer delivers a believable role as the romantic lead in the movie and certainly works alongside Hoult. I would love to see more of these two together, but what I want most is that he and Courdry team up as they really work together, she is more rom com while they are more zom-com. I would love to see any of them team up with apatow or some of the frat pack and make some more movies. I see a bright future for most of these people. Malcovich delivers a weak performance though, this may be caused by the lack of screen time he gets, or that he just didn't work as a gun toting leader. Watch this movie if you want to see a less dystopic zom-com than Shaun of the dead, with more romance and less of the comedic value than of that movie. Also watch it if you enjoyed Zombieland. If you haven't seen Zombieland, do yourself a favor and do that...
