Poor man's Jayne Mansfield

Rating: 1/10 (17 September 2010)

OK. This is something awful. Not because it's a not so clever Shaun Of The Dead ripoff, not because it lacks originality of any kind, and "inspired" by almost everything I (and probably you) have ever seen from Brain Dead to Fight Club to Shaun Of The Dead, and back again - no. I hate this movie (first) because the level of its "Cult Classic" wannabe-ness. Arn't you fed up with the genre? Shaun was a bit less entertaining than Brain Dead OK, and was pathetic as a cultie (Necro Files 2 anyone?), but that stuff was almost decent. Repo the Genetic Opera was almost entertaining. Well, if you like the Fifth Element opera scene and want to relive those memories with Sarah Brightman. But enough's enough. Jayne Mansfield was the poor man's Marilyn Monroe, but this stuff is the poor man's Jane Mansfield, and I just can't get its overratingness. Anyways, one star is fair, because Bill Murray is a cool dude, the (spoiler?) "zombie kill of the week" is a cool gag, somehow reminds me the "power animal" flick in Fight Club, and hey! I almost forget to mention the best (spoiler) part: you know Leonard Cohen from Shrek, and Watchmen and like TV talent shows. Now in this film you can't find his music, not even Hallelujah! Thank G_d, thank you all! Hallelujah!
