Zombie movies are about people who deal with zombies but this movie is about the zombie experience. They finally got " Zombies Are People Too" right, right? Where the Romero remake of
Land of the Dead failed so miserably,
Warm Bodies had me bawling twenty minutes in and laughing throughout. Instead of grabbing you by the neck and screaming into your ear that zombies can be a culture, this movie leads you there gently with light narration and intriguing camera framing. Aside from the cacophony of coughing in the theater, this movie had me completely immersed. The pace is burning, the plot lines: solid. Warm Bodies is, in my opinion, the "Feel Good Zombie Movie of the Year." Not since
Zombieland, have we laughed and cried so hard. Kudos to
Jonathan Levine for a job well done. Pay especial attention to Daily Show correspondent Rob Corddry as the best friend. What? You think zombies don't have best friends? Racist.
