Full disclosure: After watching 50 minutes, I shut off Eat Brains Love because it failed to hold my attention. I finish every movie I watch, no matter how bad, so tonight I completed it, and re-watched the opening 50.
Ok, I LOVED Idle Hands, this movie has that same director. And I'll watch anything with zombies. Red flag: This movie actually boasts that it's a zom-rom-com. Please. Name me ONE good zom-rom-com from the last 3 decades. Think about it. WRONG! They all suck. And if you said "Warm Bodies," shame on you.
That being said, I was just not interested in any of the characters, or their friends. ESPECIALLY the two leads. I mean, come on. Dumb stoner/vaper meets popular cheerleader, discover they're both zombies, go on a road trip together, fall in love, AND, this being the 2000-whatevers, they're... ETHICAL zombies. I could not have crapped a crappier premise.
So they're hunted by this zombie task force, who want the zombies alive so they can use them for such things as a government zombie defense force. *YAWN* Seen it. By far, the most interesting character is the female psychic zombie hunter. Unfortunately, she's got a crush on the cute boy zombie they're pursuing, so that gets all mushy.
There is sporadic fun to be had along the way. As far as romantic zombie movies go, this one at least earns its R rating. You got blood and gore, swearing, adult themes, er, male nudity, if that floats your boat (2019 called), stuff actually found in a real horror movie. The ball-ripping/feasting scene is a riot!
I'm giving this movie a generous 5. I'd rank it higher, if say, it had interesting, and not stereotypical characters, and a more original premise. Then again, I'm asking the filmmakers to re-write AND re-cast this boner!! Who am I kidding?
I can't stop without mentioning the ending. It is as much of a non-ending as non-endings get, which spells... SEQUEL. Another horror movie sin, unless you're some iconic franchise. That's, how many sins? I dunno, I lost track. (The biggest >

I searched for Best zombie comedies on Google and in one website this movie was on top. Because it got 100% rating in rottentomatoes. So, I started to watch the film.
It started in a good way because it's idea was very good. But at the end it became a forgettable film for me.
Mainly because no character is likable here specially the character of Sarah Yarkin, the NBC girl. Her character was the most irritating and illogical. Also male lead acted very badly. Most of the jokes didn't work.
Only you'll see zombies eating lots of fleshes, that's all. Finally, this movie could've been much much better with the same IDEA. If you're a Zombie movie lover you CAN WATCH it FOR ONCE.

This movie is aimed at a younger crowd than me, I'm sure. But, it's pretty good for the type of movie that it is. A slightly fresh angle on the zombie theme with pretty good acting effects. They left the ending kinda open it seemed like to me. Possibly hoping for a sequel? If it looks like something you would enjoy, you probably will.
The bad dad joke in the title tells you the level of humor to expect. Sarah Yelkin from "Happy Death Day 2" is the big draw here. The big problem is that this movie suffers in comparison to the films it tries to copy. "Warm Bodies" did the zombie romance way better. "Ahh Zombies" did the zombie perspective better. "Cooties" did schoolyard carnage better. This film sets gore at about 7 and humor at 3. It pales in comparison to it's predecessors. Still, it's not a total wash. Get drunk with your friends and you can still have fun riffing on the cheesy scenes.
I did sit through the credits...so I knew who to blame.
This brings nothing new to the table.
It's not one to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.
This is not new, but at the beginning it does feel quite fresh. Throughout there are some fine zingers and dialogue lines, but it never really achieves or reaches hights that would put thin in another league. It's a fun little movie though and if you are a fan of comedy and horror combined (I know some despise that formula), than you will be satisfied.
Having said that, do not expect any super acting or big effects (though for the budget this had, it looks at least ok). If you're down with that, just have ... fun
