[IMDB] [Amazon]
warm bodies stars an ashton kutcher lookalike and a kristen steward lookalike. i feel that this tells you just about everything you really need to know about this disappointment of a movie. too bad i get paid by the word!
i liked this film's story, or at least the story that the trailer told me. now, the trailer was not lying, per se, but it did do a fabulous job of cutting out all the awkward crappy bits. it also did not spoil the ending, which means that the trailer did not have to depict any part of the extremely unlikely and forced happy ending. if i were more of an optimist, i might choose to more benignly view the apparent utter lack of bigotry or xenophobia in their little world, but i have met too many people to let go of that bit of reality. i really think this movie would have been more interesting if they had concentrated less on the relationship between the girl and the zombie and more on the fallout when she brings the zombie home to meet daddy. but then it would not have been a romantic comedy, i guess.
by the way, if you think you are not a bigot or you have never heard of unconscious bias, then there is no time like the present to start educating yourself.
warm bodies gets one boner.
