Zombies vs. Joe Alien

Zombies vs Joe Alien otherwise known as Alien vs Zombies is comedy above all else. Though it does contain adult humor this is a very light hearted affair.

Telling the story of Joe, an alien who comes to earth on holiday during the zombie apocalypse and using his time travel powers seeks to save the world.

It's cheesy, it looks like a Scyfy original but it has a real charm about it and some of the humor is oddly on point.

It's one of those films that should have been terrible but by hook or by crook it actually came out half way decent.

The cover is a lie, the zombies don't look anywhere near that good, Joe doesn't look like that (No veins, no glowing eyes, no face paint) and it's far lighter than the intense cover suggests.

Go in with no expectations and you might find a laugh but do not watch on the hopes of it being a zombie movie because it truly isn't.

The Good:

Some great humor

Brilliant Quantum leap homage

The Bad:

Poor zombies

Dishonest cover

But in a good goofy way. Let me start by saying the acting is not good, but my husband and I actually enjoyed this movie. An Alien that loves Earth finally gets his chance to come here for his version of Spring Break and finds out that he's right in the middle of the Zombie Apocalypse (bummer) The lead actor plays this fish out of water role quite well in spite of the dialogue and actually seems to be having fun with role. But all in all, it was good time. We chuckled a bit through it and when it ended, my husband and I both had come to the same conclusion. "It's cute"
