Today we watched our second Redbox pick of the weekend and with the opening credits still rolling, Rebekah and I both remarked that it was already a better movie than Beautiful Creatures. This is the current zombie genre poking fun at itself...in a Romeo and Juliet sort of way. Actually, make that "R and Julie".
Warm Bodies stars Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer as not just star-crossed, but more like "undead-crossed" lovers. John Malcovich plays Julie's father who knows from experience that the corpses can't change...or can they?
Don't get bogged down in over analyzing the plot. This story is meant to be fun and Hoult's narration throughout is the best part...sort of like the movie where I first saw him as a young boy. About a Boy is one of my all-time favorite movies and Hoult's tongue-in-cheek comments are reminiscent of Hugh Grant in that great film.
If you aren't easily offended and understand this is a zombie movie...there will be violence...then, rent and have a good laugh!
