Let's be clear about it: the movie is a low-budged production. Considering that, it is actually not as bad as it could have been.Even though the upcoming zombie apocalypse is the new hotness these days, this one's on the lighter side of the subject. Apparently zombies are just normal people with normal problems: missed opportunities, lovesick and of course hungry for a road-trip.The story is pretty much about a guy what wants to get to his former girl and tell her that he loves her - in total spite of the fact that he's a zombie now. He picks up a few fellow travelers along the way and together they embark on a road-trip. All while some 'corporation' (remember Umbrella?) is hot on their rotting heels. In the end he confesses his 'undying' love. With the entire zombie backdrop it is fun to watch, but it leaves you here and there with a few blanks you got to fill in for yourself. The zombie outbreak is just a facade, if I may say so, to pepper the movie with some comic relief. However, the entire thing is so over-the-top that it is actually fun to watch. Several scenes are rather hilarious, while others leave you going: "WFT?" And that is the weak spot of it; at times neither the plot, nor the actions of certain characters seem to make sense. Therefore I deem it rather average, however funny enough to not turn it off mid-way. Give it a try for yourself and see how infectious it is.

The intro makes it seem promising with the grindhouse vibe going for it sorta but it turned out pretty good. This isn't a amazing zombie movie but it's watchable. It's basically about a guy waking up to find out he is a zombie but unlike other zombies he is intelligent and has human conscience and is basically a good zombie cause he doesn't kill people. And randomly meets another zombie that has the mind of a human as well. And it turns out as a zombies on the road trip movie with two unexpected friends Mike and Brent on a journey to find a girl that one of them is head over heels for. Because out of 6 billion people he thinks she is his only soul-mate. And has a old guy and a zombie with zombie mentality and has attributes of the Frankenstein monster following them around. So they are the good guys...Well sorta and the humans that are trying to hunt them are the bad guys...Sorta. So it's a interesting take on this genre and you can tell they put quite a effort into this straight to DVD zombie flick. Even if it does have some plot holes and doesn't make much sense sometimes. For instance the zombie Frankenstein that is tagging along doesn't even try to eat the old guy. They are zombies and yet they smoke pot. You can see them breathing although they are zombies. One of the zombie guy that has the human mind wears glasses without any lenses although he isn't a hipster. And at the end the protagonist who has a zombie body lets his girlfriend kiss him although he can contaminate her and turn her into a zombie. Just to name a few things that doesn't make sense about this movie. The acting in this movie isn't awful but it's far from good, but I guess that somewhat makes this flick humorous a bit. The dialogue isn't well written and can be pretty darn cheesy and childish. If they used the two zombies that still has the intellect of humans and incorporate it into the movie in a clever and creative way it would have really upgraded this movie. But they are on the run from humans that are trying to hunt them and that is basically the only thing the play the fact that the two main characters are zombies upon. Because there is certainly plenty of ways they could have incorporated them being zombies and all and use it to accomplish certain tasks and stuff. If this had a bit of a higher budget and used it for better cinematography and added more cool stuff going on. Incorporated the two zombie buddies with the intellect of humans and used it in a clever and witty manner and did a better job with the dialogue. It could have made it into the theater. Overall it's a alright movie but wanted a bit more humor. It's nowhere near as good as "Shaun of the Dead" but it's a watchable flick.5.8/10

Entertaining actors, well acted and the movie has a pretty funny script. I didn't hear/see a lot of Clichés as other have said. The script moved along well. It was not low budget nor was it high budget. But definitely not low budget. The special effects were high quality, body parts, gun shot wounds, etc. The guys chasing the two main characters do a good job as vigilantes and present a nice reason for the main characters to be on the run. Oh, and there is an explanation for the reason the two guys are not like the other zombies. You just have to wait for it. It's definitely a good popcorn movie with enough funny moments.

The plot: two zombies go on a road-trip and try to find one's ex-girlfriend to profess his love.This is a pretty stupid ripoff of Shaun of the Dead, but, unfortunately for me, I've seen much worse. As far as low budget, independent zombie movies go, this is actually one of the more tolerable entries. That's not saying much when your competition is The Dead Hate The Living and Dance of the Dead. Still, there were appealing aspects to it, and it had some degree of charm, I guess. I'm a bit tired of self-aware hipster nerds in zombie comedies, though. Especially when there's a romantic subplot.If you like movies that are basically just a couple of goofy nerds spouting off pop culture references and movie quotes, then I'm sure you'll find this amusing. Otherwise, I'd advise that you skip it. Instead, just watch Shaun of the Dead again.
