So, this movie drops us into the thick of a zombie apocalypse. You meet one zombie, R, who wants something more than to be a zombie. This is totally shown by his love for vinyl and music written before 1990. R has a best friend, and by that, he means someone that he stands next to and grunts at most of the time. While looking for food R runs into Julie, and falls in love. He takes her back to where the zombies live and keeps her in his airplane abode for a couple days. So, you know, you're typical story of zombie meets girl. Then, together Julie and R find out that love cures the undead. It would be unbearably mushy if it weren't so funny.
I honestly think they were trying to hop on both the paranormal romance train and the zombie obsession to make a great movie, and it worked. It worked so well. This movie was hilarious. One thing I appreciated most about this film is that it wasn't one where you had to wait for them to set up the movie for it to be good, it was great from the very first line. Just a good balance of comedy, depth, drama, action and romance. The end had my attention, but I won't spoil it. Like Nick, I want to read the book now as well.
