Robert Henry Lee For those who can't see it let's look at the facts The main characters are called R and Julie They come from rival sides and fall in love There is even a balcony scene The premise love conquers all is still prevalent The only difference is at the end all the dead come alive rather than the other way round. A light hearted film not to be taken to seriously.

dagallop This is a bias review because I bought the DVD and have subsequently watched it over a dozen times in the years that I have owned it. There is no chance that anyone with a pulse couldn't like this movie, it is exceptionally well acted, has an exceptional soundtrack, marvelous sets, brilliant story and above everything else John Malkovich is in it! The concept is truly original, probably the only movie of its kind to have a real conclusion that is as plausible as the initial cause, which by the way is only briefly mentioned but is totally superfluous as the movie carries the plot without it! I personally believe that this movie should be up there in the 'classic zombie dramedy' list for anyone that enjoys light hearted humor along with a great and extremely well acted stories. And then there is the soundtrack, oh my, whoever selected the music for the specific scenes deserves an award for their choices. John Malkovich is never anything but a brilliant, talented and adaptable master of his craft and this fits in with the history associated with everything he has ever done. As convincing as possible with the hints of his personality thrown in as usual. By the way, even his small roles such as that in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy only he could have pulled off in the style that he did. Overall, a brilliant movie with great music, however, not for the faint hearted as some of the scenes deny the younger viewers an opportunity to watch this.

Mihai Toma In a post-apocalyptic world, where most of the population was turned into zombies and some into walking skeletons, R is a pretty unusual member of the undead. He collects stuff, he spends "quality" time in an airplane, and, most importantly, he thinks. In his situation, he saves a girl who got surrounded while scouting for medicine and tries, in his own way, to communicate with her. Although scared as hell in the beginning, she starts to enjoy R's company, creating some sort of human zombie connection. From this moment, R slowly turns more and more alive, but as his evolution becomes more pronounced, he becomes a target of the "Bonies", so he must do something fast before he will be eaten (almost) alive.It's a pretty atmospheric horror movie, featuring an unusual zombie who is determined to change and receives some unexpected help from a living being, which he saves. It sends emotion and tension, and although it starts very slowly, almost boringly slowly, it gains pace and becomes interesting. While it is mostly predictable, but not in a bad way, and some events are rather questionable, it manages to be a very good watch, with a happy ending which put a smile to my previously sad face.

vantikaci I was expecting a slightly dark Rom-Com and got a little more.What piqued my interest, was the angst filled,hapless R,shuffling through the airport lamenting on how humans used to interact and connect, which switched to the same airport, filled with disconnected humans, alienated and engaging only with their cell phones. I thought, well , that's an astute observation. Hought's was a compelling performance, I loved his repulsion at his own inhumanity when he ate the brain of Perry, as seen through Perry's memory. That's some good acting. I also like that twist, it reminded me of Robert Heinlein's Michael Valentine Smith,(Stranger in a Strange Land) who ate the bodies of the dead in order to absorb their spirit, all in the name of love. You grok?I LOL'd in real life when the zombies were geared into action, to 'Rock You Like a Hurricane', and we were treated to the (now iconic) Reservoir Dogs slow-mo, except it was in real time- because...hey, they're zombies! They're already in slow-mo!Also when the makeover to human montage was cut short by the friend shutting off Pretty Woman and saying "It's funny". It is. And of course, the redemption of the zombies (and humans) and the bonding experience of reconciliation through the love of killing a common enemy.Yay!
