Zombies

This movie is literally a copy of Descendants and it was plain out just an awful awful movie

She insisted on the 8, though I would have hedged toward a 6, we had fun watching it together. The acting is actually fun to watch and the music is catchy. The story isn't great, and yes, pretty dang predictable in a lot of ways, but I think it handled the message of overcoming intolerance nicely. And it gave us a good chance to have a mom-daughter talk about how she can be supportive of friends at school that get picked on for being different in one way or another. Any show that can give you that opportunity has merit. If she wants to watch it again with me, I wouldn't hesitate.

Considering this is a Disney Channel TV movie, and not a theatrical film, it was very entertaining! The leads Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly had great chemistry and their acting (including Bucky, Trevor Tordjman) was great, which you don't usually get with DCOMs. Even some of the leads in the ever-popular Descendents were lacking, so it was refreshing to see some better talent in this movie. I liked the overall tone of the movie and the cheerleaders reminded me a bit of Bring It On, in how they enthusiastic and sometimes corny they were in talking about cheerleading. One negative- I felt that the costuming and setting was a bit over the top. I understand this was done intentionally to portray the differences between the two worlds of humans and zombies, but the pastels and bright neon pink and green was just too much for the eye to take.

The music was good, a little cookie-cutter, but the song Someday was particularly sweet and effective in setting the tone and message for the movie. I thought it was a great statement for young kids on how racism is bad and we should be more accepting of other people/culture/differences, and I loved how Disney put it in the context of Zombies- fun and inspirational! I am curious to see if this gets a sequel and interested to see where they take the story next.

As a 31 year old father of 3 girls, I have to endure some terrible TV and film. I got into this film more than I usually do. Silly story lines and plot, but it was a fun film and my kids love it. The songs are catchy. A well choreographed film with good chemistry between the actors.

I wouldn't watch this on my own. However, out of all the stuff I have to watch with my daughters, this is one of the better ones.

People are saying the message is good, but in all honesty Zombies is a terrible allegory for racism considering that every zombie was a mass murderer not too long ago in the movies universe and you know just... the concept of zombies in general. But overall, very bad movie, very fun watch, wouldn't watch again but I would reccomend
