Warm indeed

Rating: Null/10 (19 September 2013)

"A romantic-zombie-comedy-drama-thing? Uh no thanks" I said when I heard about this, and I kept saying "nah, I won't see that" for months. Shame on you past self! While utterly predictable this movie is funny (as in I laughed out loud several times), sweet and generally warm.
The plot is simple, inspired by the old tale of forbidden love (more specifically, Shakespeare, but we can all agree he didn't make up that concept) and as such isn't very interesting, but R's jokes (and perhaps, my love for Nicholas Hoult)are funny and the post-apocalyptic setting is a nice backdrop. It is a tale of love and hope and I enjoyed it a lot, and know that others will too if they get past the whole "zombie falls for human" part, which I didn't until someone told me to. If you need a light, funny, hopeful movies then give it a go, you can always turn it off if you hate it.
