As We Know It

I really like the colors of this movie. It's vibrant. And I'm glad they went with it. But that's the biggest positive.

The characters are supposed to be 90's characters, but they're missing the attitude. This comes off like a post Millennial California reinterpretation of the 90's. They got the music but the characters are so typical of 2023 California attitude that it's annoying.

Since the characters are so lame... you can't care about them. It means the movie doesn't matter. The humor is lame, the characters are the type that would by classic fiction but never read it, and the story is ruined by it. Those is a zombie movie of beta males you don't care about talking to a chick with a 2020 haircut nobody likes.

Is this the greatest zombie movie of all time? No

Is this the worst zombie movie of all time? Not even close.

A tale of friendship, love, Waterworld, zombies, Los Angeles and Soya Milk.

If you don't take this film too seriously, which is exactly the point of it, you will have a great time. Cake's cover version of I Will Survive fits the film like a glove and within two minutes of being introduced to the characters you find them very likeable - which is a huge compliment considering they could have so easily fallen into a stereotype.

So, kick your shoes off, crack open the soya milk and enjoy.

If I were James and Bruce I might've kept browsing the yellow pages for another restaurant.. although I guess I would settle for hot wings and kabob during the zombie apocalypse.. if that was my only option.

I will say though with Bruce being a wiz in the kitchen they might've been better off with Bruce's world famous bacon and egg sandwich. What else can I say... this film was a lot of fun.. filled with 90s nostalgia if that's your thing.

Not that many movies today that offer this kind of sentimentality while at the same time it's able to poke fun at itself. Definitely worth the watch. Really enjoyed this.

Sometimes, I look at the shows and movies in which actors appear. When I found out about this movie, I decided to add it to my watchlist, and one day, I would get to watch it. Today was that day. In the beginning, I was worried that I wouldn't like it, but as I continued I found myself genuinely enjoying it. The jokes are funny and the characters are enjoyable, bringing so much intrigue to the story. Some of the characters still fall under certain archetypes, but their portrayal makes them entertaining. Despite what you might think, this movie isn't necessarily a horror movie. It contains some gore, but for the most part, it is a comedy. Overall, I think that this movie portrays a unique effort at a different zombie movie.

In today's overly saturated zombie comedy market this film was a refreshing take on the genre. What's more is it focuses on the friendships and relationships and the zombies tend to take the backseat for the most part... which is what I loved most about the movie. But don't worry zombie fans, zombies are still very much involved in the storyline. The set pieces are also so incredibly detailed and the camera setups are super clean and reminiscent of early Wes Anderson. I of course have to mention the sweet soundtrack by CAKE and Spin Doctors, that took me way back to my youth. Without giving too much away it was a delightful film and I would highly recommend it if you're in the mood for something original, whether or not you're a zombie fan. Bravo to the filmmakers behind this one. Job well done.
