The tone of the movie was reminiscent of those campy 80s black comedy horror movies that often didn't take themselves too seriously like Night of the Creeps, Return of the Living Dead or Evil Dead? and also more recent quirky semi-ironic shows like iZombie while the humor itself was more deadpan and sitcom-ish than those (think darkly humorous sitcoms like Married with Children). I wouldn't exactly say this is a masterpiece you would recommend your friend, unless they were a weirdo who is into this sort of humor (I am probably that weirdo) because I was squirming in my seat from boredom especially in the first third of the movie but once you get past the awkward twenty minutes or so into the movie where you are probably thinking "A high school male student most likely played by an early Tom Hanks-emulating middle-aged actor creepily trying to 'get the girl' since he was a little boy? I already hate this guy! Wow, I wish he were dead- oh." it has its moments. The fact that most characters were completely unfazed by the fact Johnny was dead and took it as if he just grew another zit on the face was just hilarious. The strongest point of the movie was however a satirical depiction of "angry villagers" (most of them white trash rednecks) wanting to burn Johnny "alive" because he was undead and seen with a human female which if you change the subject, say, instead of undead he was black or a member of the LGBT community it adds another layer of meaning to it. Again, don't expect --insert the most critically acclaimed movie here-- and 85 minutes of your time won't be wasted."Would you eat someone just to be few more hours with the person you love? No? I thought so!" Obviously paraphrasing here the part where a sheriff scolds the angry mob but God, was I not laughing out loud at this.

Many years ago I seen this movie on TV back in the 90s and I had no idea what the name of this film was.I thought it was something like My Boyfriend is a Zombie but in actual fact it was called My Boyfriend's Back.So what is this about well it tells the tale of a lovelorn teen named Johnny Dingle(told sometimes in a comic book style cartoon in some snipets) who is in love with a girl called Missy McCloud who he knew since they were both kids,and he was invited to her party as a little boy. He dreams of taking her to prom and would do anything to be with her. So what does Johnny do to win her over,why have his mate disguise himself as a robber and rob the store where Missy works.But it all backfires when a real robber shows up and shots Johnny. Sadly Johnny dies only to be brought back to life again.But the problem now is he is a zombie and he has to try and win Missy's heart again so that he can go to the prom with her. So will he get the girl of his dreams even though his dead or will he be brought back from the aftermath again?Overall I haven't seen this film in years and I was lucky to have seen it after all these years. The premise is stupid and silly,the dialogue is corny and the acting was decent.I liked the guy that played Johnny Dingle he was really goofy and cute and you actually feel sorry for the guy cause he loves this girl who doesn't know that he likes her. Parts of it was a bit funny like the townspeople trying to get after Johnny and Johnny eats Buck and Missy falls for Johnny. Its a cute romantic fantasy with a horror edge to it but its not that scary at all. If you haven't seen it then check it out and keep your eyes opened for Matthew McConnaghey(this was his movie debut by the way)alongside Matthew Fox and the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Paxton Whitehead who played Uncle Millard in the 2001 romantic fantasy with Hugh Jackman Kate & Leopold.C-5/10Not bad

I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex wife 2years ago, which lead to our break up. when she broke up with me, I was not myself again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine frank told me about a spell caster who helped him in the same problem too his name is Dr ALEX. I email Dr Alex the spell caster and i told him my problem and i did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happening my wife gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me in just 2days and was so happy to have her back to me. We have two kids together and we are happy with ourselves. Thanks to Dr ALEX for saving my relationship and for also saving others own too. continue your good work, If you are interested to contact him and testify this blessings like me, the great spell caster email address is ([email protected]) you are the best among all the spell caster online I hope you see my testimonies and also pray for my family too..

'My Boyfriend's Back' is both great as a political analogy (dealing with generic prejudice and social mistrust) as well as a hard mockery of standard teen fare. The story is that of a teen who is dying to go to the prom with the school beauty. Unfortunately, a plan to get her attention backfires and he dies. But, he rises as the walking dead in order to keep the date. But, even though no one seems to mind much that the dead kid pretty much resumed his normal life, he is quickly decaying. And, it requires that he eats living things in order to slow the process until a doctor (played fantastically by character actor, Austin Pendleton) can figure out how to chemically reverse the process. Of course, his cannibalism does not blow over well with the towns folk, who soon begin to ostracize the boy (and violently, at that).It is a witty little black comedy that does sometimes strive too hard to impose its humor on the audience (though, maintaining some witty subtle humor at the same time). The generic supporting characters such as the oblivious father (played by Edward Hermann), the exceedingly prim mother, and, of course, the doctor (Austin Pendleton) are great. Its seems like a more scaled down, cheaper version of something that Tim Burton could put together (and sort of did, with Frankenweenie). Also, look for Cloris Leachman, Paul Dooley, and a then-unknown Matthew Fox and Phyllip Seymour Hoffman in supporting roles.If you enjoy this movie, check out 'My Best Friend is a Vampire,' 'The Applegates,' 'I Was a Teenage Zombie,' 'Terror Vision,' or the disturbing black comedy 'Parents.' This is one of those oddball varieties.
