I've been waiting to see this since I first saw the trailer before the last Twilight movie. It was cute but not necessarily a "drop everything and run to the theater" kind of movie. Definitely worth a rental, though.R (Nicholas Hoult) is a zombie who lives at the airport. He and his friend M (Rob Corddry) don't really do much except shuffle around and occasionally venture out in packs to hunt fresh brains in the mostly-abandoned city. That's where R meets Julie (Teresa Palmer), part of a recovery team in the city looking for pharmaceuticals for the remaining humans. R knows there's something special about her but doesn't know what it is, even after he eats the brain of her ex-boyfriend (Dave Franco) and absorbs all his memories. All he knows is that he's changing. So, instead of letting her be killed, he saves Julie and takes her to his 747, hiding her from all the other zombies. But can a living girl and a living dead boy ever find peace?
For me, Rob Corddry stole the show completely. His character was hilarious. I haven't seen any of Teresa Palmer's other work but she seemed pretty decent. Looks a lot like a blond Kristen Stewart, but with talent. There are no real surprises in the script but it's cute and funny. It's a decent date movie, if you're a little twisted.
