Woodyanders Unsympathetic slacker Zach (an extremely grating performance by Alex Hammel-Shaver) breaks up with his latest girlfriend. His rowdy buddy Dan (an equally obnoxious portrayal by Scott Keebler) takes advantage of the situation by rigging a dating game show Zach is going to appear on by making all the contestants Zach's former girlfriends. Complications ensue when the show's sponsor HAPIwater creates a new popular drink that turns everyone who consumes it into ravenous zombies.While the clever central premise has potential, alas director/co-writer George Smith squanders said potential by making the main characters of Zach and Dan a couple of exceptionally unlikable and insufferable jerks whose rat-a-tat-tat comic bantering proves to be much more irritating than amusing. Moreover, Smith tries way too hard to make the plot be as zany as possible; the humor frequently feels forced and hence simply isn't that funny. Worse yet, a disagreeable misogynistic streak pervades throughout and leaves a foul aftertaste. On the plus side, the adorable Madison Hart provides a much needed (and appreciated) dash of charm and spark as meek nerdette Lilly, Roberto Lombardi contributes a hilarious bit as a smarmy TV show host, and there's a satisfying smattering of splatter. But overall this one sizes up as a lackluster wash-out.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I watch just about anything that includes zombies, and most of the time it is some fairly questionable movies that go through the player. "Zombie eXs" was indeed one such movie.The storyline in the movie was actually the best part of the movie. It had potential, but it was just shattered by horrendous acting and lack of commitment from most actors and actresses. The storyline is not your average take on the zombie genre. There is a good amount of comedy and interesting ideas here.However, it was so poorly translated from script to screen, that it was just a downright bad experience to sit through this movie. And I must admit that I actually fell asleep during the feature. It just didn't have that much appeal.Most of the people on the cast list were not really putting in attempts of delivering performances with their hearts and soul. And a combination of lack of conviction and really awful dialogue didn't help to lift up the movie as a whole. The only person who put on a memorable performance and actually seemed to have an ounce of acting talent was Madison Hart (playing Lilly).The zombie make-up effects were adequate for a movie of this caliber, production and type. Don't expect to be blown away though. The zombies here are not your averagely defined zombies of the genre, and they were pulled off nicely enough."Zombie eXs" had potential, but it was ultimately brought to its knees by the awful dialogue and a lack of commitment from the people cast for the various roles.There are far, far better zombie movies out there of the amateur kind. And I can't honestly think of a reason to recommend this particular zombie movie to anyone.

Joel Waite It's amazing how all of these actors have the same level of barely passable acting skills. You'd think a few could speak a whole sentence without pregnant pauses..The main characters are likable and the comedy spin is OK if you're not looking for comedy. Special effects are minimal, which is fine.New twists - it has talking zombies, and it puts up the name of each Ex as they get taken out.Bottom line, it's actually got a little depth in the story line, an OK under-current of humor, and OK acting for a high-school play. (Much better acting in the out-takes!!)
