This movie had everything going for it. A stellar cast, a decent (albeit poorly executed premise) and a well tested "quirky" writer/director that played with breaking the fourth wall. Yet, none of it hangs together.
The zombies being stuck doing/wanting the same things they did/desired in life was a seldom used twist on the zombie, which could have been better used for that "social statement" that the movie kept trying to make. Other zombie movies made those statements in a more subtle, clever way. Return of the living dead, with its warnings about toxic waste presented with generous helping of comedy (send more paramedics!) or the original Night of the Living Dead with its subtle statement on racism and the hard look it took at the living at the end of the film.
Extremely disappointing.
