    I don't really see how they missed the boat on this one. It was a boy and his dog . . er. . zombie movie. I thought it was pulled off rather well. It was innovative, funny as hell, and even. . yes. . heartwarming. It's not your basic, run of the mill, zombie movie. I really found very very few problems with it. Please elaborate, what put you off?

    It's just not a movie for everyone, not everyone is okay with the concept. I enjoyed it though, good little movie.

    Its quite simple really why I didn't like it.

    ****Spoilers***




    It started well. Zombie lore was being followed and yes it looked like it was going to be a cute little movie.
    First problem was I didn't find Billy Connolly, as much as I love the guy, very convincing as a zombie. Seeing as he was 1 of the central characters, this distracted from his role quite a lot and I just couldn't get past that.
    Evolving zombies I can accept. Love interest zombies I cannot.

    real funny, i thought

    the wife and i both loved this one. of course, we've endured some real stinkers in recent months. nice take on the zombie genre. not a fast paced gore-fest, but refreshingly enjoyable nonetheless.

    This would have been a problem if it had been an attempt at a serious movie. However, In a comedy, perfectly fine to me.

    Finally watched this last night...

    Think zombies meets 'Edward Scissor Hands' and you're half way there...


    Was a nice, odd-ball film, which although good fun to watch, it seems to not make as much out of the situation/material as it could easily have of.

    None-the-less... A great little black-comedy for any zombie fan


    I was going to post the trailer but DEFINATELY worth watching it knowing little/nothing about it...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
