Not at all what I expected

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2013)

When I saw the trailer for this movie, it honestly looked really dumb. Like, Twilight for Zombies. Also didn't help that Teresa Palmer really reminds me of Kirsten Stewart for some reason. However, within the first 5 minutes, you realize that the movie doesn't plan to go down that road. R's inner dialogue was hilarious and this was more of an off-beat comedy than a romance. That being said, the relationship between R and Julie was really cute and innocent. Sure, it started a little unconventionally, but it was strong enough to literally change the world. Nicholas Hoult is just too adorable as R. His mannerisms, facial expressions and inner monologue are great. Don't judge a movie by its trailer I guess. The story is simple and the miracle at the end is not really explained, but hey. Give this a try, it might surprise you.
