If you can make it through the first part of “Warm Bodies”,
and get around the fact that they’re obviously trying to do for zombies what
“Twilight” did for vampires—make them sexy, clean, and appealing to crowds of
teenage girls in a non-threatening, non-sexual way—then you might enjoy the
remainder of the film. You won’t be blown away, but there’s earnestness and
certain charm that’s difficult to deny. Before you get to that point, however,
the movie is a tedious wreck. And I’ll try to contain my rant on zombies until
later in our program. I make no promises, but I will certainly do my best.
