So I heard going in to watch this movie is that it was "zombie twilight" and I thought to myself, "dear god how are they going to try to make rotting corpses into teenage sex symbols". The movie doesn't take itself too seriously and as long as you aren't looking for seriousness, it's a very funny and interesting movie to watch. Sure the "power of love" and all that jazz is overdone, but it didn't go over the top with the romance, it was just quick paced and humorous. And hey, John Malcovitch is great in any movie, so it's worth checking out just for that. The music really makes this film and sets the tone. If the music had been super serious twilight stuff I would have just laughed at the ridiculousness of every scene where romance was involved, but there were a lot of funny song choices. Which made me laugh WITH the movie and not AT the movie. And I was genuinely surprised to see that they did actually make zombies sexy at a point, that's a pretty strange achievement.
