Reviews for Mi novio es un zombie
Aisle SeatZombies are everywhere in pop culture these days: in movies, in books, on television. I've always loved zombie tales. Many of the core elements – people becoming Something Else, survivors trying to adapt to a world that has radically changed – are inhere
Screen JabberThe zombie love goes on. The genre continues to be the flavour of the month on big screen and small, but how long will it be before audiences grow tired of shuffling corpses? Luckily, the "zom-rom-com" hasn't yet been mined to death – Shaun of The Dead...
iHaveNet.comThe tween-minded zombie romance "Warm Bodies" pulls a comic-romantic twist on a genre better known for its entrails. It is narrated by the undead fellow known as R, played by Nicholas Hoult, soon to be slaying giants in "Jack the Giant Slayer."
New York PostEditors at the old sci-fi anthology magazines used to say that the least-surprising surprise-ending story that would come in, by the wheelbarrow load, was the one starring the two wounded souls wandering post-apocalypse.
Movies.comThe meaning of January and February, at least as it relates to new film releases, is "Who cares?" And nothing sends that message more effectively than yet another story of the undead. Well past the genre's innovation point of no return, the...
Fresno BeeZombie love story "Warm Bodies" introduces a new film genre: the zom rom com. It has all the leg shuffling, brain-eating fun of a horror film played out against a modern day "Romeo & Juliet" tale.
Mark Reviews MoviesThe conceit of Warm Bodies is a truly inspired one. Here is the zombie apocalypse from the viewpoint of one of the undead. He's your average zombie. He is sluggish, stumbling, and set on devouring the flesh of the living, but he's conflicted about...
Eric D. SniderOf all the zombie movies so far, few (if any) have told their stories from the zombies’ point of view. The undead can’t talk, think, or learn, and a protagonist generally needs to be able to do at least two of those things.
Reel ViewsAs if it wasn't bad enough that Twilight defanged vampires, turning them into whiny emo Harlequin romance heroes, now Warm Bodies has done something similar for zombies. Granted, that latter evisceration is more challenging than the former. After all...
FirstShowing.netThe flurry of zombie movies in the past decade have made it a cliched genre. There doesn't seem to be anything more to say about humanity surviving in the face of dead walking the earth with one thought, to eat us.
RedEyePicture a zombie shuffling around a post-apocalyptic society, mumbling not “Brainssssss,” but “Heartsssss.” Not because he prefers to eat hearts, but because he wants to revive his own.
Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)With growing zombie fans around the world expecting a fast-approaching zombie apocalypse, it’s about time for Hollywood to start rethinking the overdone traditional zombie film.
Houston PressAre you sick of zombies? I'm a little sick of zombies, which is a drag because I love zombies. I've been a zombie fan ever since I watched Dawn of the Dead at a high school party where everyone else was drinking beer, smoking, making out, and generally...
CinemaBlend.comCreating a conventional zombie movie is easy. All you need to do is take a group of human survivors from all walks of life, stick them in a closed environment, and a) let them tear themselves apart, b) let the flesh-eating monsters tear them apart...
Sacramento News & ReviewIn a not-too-distant future, a zombie plague destroys civilization and divides humanity into the living and the undead. In this bleak world, zombie boy (Nicholas Hoult) meets human girl (Teresa Palmer).
The A.V. ClubIsaac Marion’s 2011 zombie romance novel Warm Bodies ends with a splashy, mildly ridiculous event that ties its themes together and makes its underlying zombie metaphor clear. In a way, Marion isn’t talking about diseased, undead creatures who consume...
Entertainment WeeklyHow nice to find young dead boys in this world emo enough not to devour the girls they love. The vampire Edward eschewed chewing on Bella throughout the Twilight saga. Now, as a zombie who goes by the name of R in the zomb-rom-com Warm Bodies, Nicholas...
Movie WebZombies are known for being slow and looking extremely pale. They are carnivores who do not think twice about eating your brain. Warm Bodies is aware of all of these things and pokes fun at it and is not afraid to laugh at itself.
SFXLast year, we got Umbrella zombies, TV zombies, and even stopmotion zombies. Now 2013 gives us Warm Bodies, a zombie rom-com that wants us to care about a dead guy called R (Nicholas Hoult), who stumbles back into his humanity through the love of a...
Channel24While Warm Bodies may well look, at first glance, to be little more than yet another Twilight cash-in, it's inspiration is clearly far more classic than that. It is, in effect, very clearly William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet...
QNetwork EntertainmentWhile Pink Floyd famously noted “There’s someone in my head, but it’s not me” in their classic song “Brain Damage,” R (Nicholas Hoult), the protagonist of Warm Bodies, has exactly the opposite problem: He lives entirely inside his own head because...
canada.comZombie movies are, ironically, seldom known for the strength of their zombie performances. There are exceptions, of course, most of them named William. The famously voluble Billy Connelly moaned his way through Fido.
