Surprisingly great

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2020)

This movie came as a surprise to most people when it was initially released. I expected great things from it after having read the book and that's exactly what I got. Warm Bodies is a charming teen zom rom com. What makes it works as well as it does is the effective chemistry between R played a sexy Nicholas Hoult and a feisty Teresa Palmer. The supporting work from John Malkovich, Analeigh Tipton, Dave Franco and especially Rob Corddry isn't to shabby either. Jonathan Levine takes his premise seriously but also with a winking eye. The movie can be creepy, funny and romantic and the red stuff is kept to a minimum but is there surprisingly. Also impressive is Levines screenplay it keeps the story, engaging and creative taking the concept into unexpected and appreciated areas. All in all it's a fun, surprising little gem that's quite entertaining.
