Another zombie movie? Yes, but this time, it's different.
"Warm Bodies" is a poignant tale which started when an unusual zombie "R" (played by Nicholas Hoult) developed his feelings towards human survivor Julie (played by Teresa Palmer) in a zombie attack.
Unusual because zombies don't think and have no emotions. But "R" (all he could remember is that the first letter of his name is R) is different from others, and Julie noticed it during her stay at R's place.
The clever lines and bits of physical comedy make the film interesting and pleasing to watch. When I thought the genre was exhausted and overused, "Warm Bodies" pumped in some fresh blood and brought me earnest yet affable affection on this romantic farce.
Moviegoers on my side and on my back kept on laughing at scenes deemed to be serious on R's part, nevertheless those were truly laughable.
Even if the romance is just undead, "Warm Bodies" is funny, fresh, exciting, not mentioning the substantial strength of the two main characters, and features charming moments to keep it alive.
And oh, I just love the soundtrack!
My rating: 8.5/10
