![]() Levine has executed similar tonal gambits throughout his career, especially in films like 50/50 and Long Shot. While the film’s attempt to place its fairly straightforward rom-com plot in a post-apocalyptic, zombie-filled world might seem laughable on paper, Warm Bodies mostly manages to pull off its unique genre combination. It’s Romeo & Juliet with zombies and a heap of nods to rom-com classics. In their attempts to save R and his fellow zombies, R and Julie find themselves in the middle of a conflict between the world’s not-quite-undead hordes and Julie’s human father, Colonel Grigio (John Malkovich). Unfortunately, that puts R’s zombie friends in danger from the Boneys, zombies who have completely abandoned their humanity and will eat anything with a heartbeat. Their connection not only begins to bring R back to life, but the impact spreads to his fellow zombies. However, when he crosses paths with a human survivor of the zombie apocalypse named Julie (Teresa Palmer), R’s heart begins to beat again. Written and directed by Jonathan Levine, Warm Bodies follows R (Nicholas Hoult), a zombie who can’t remember much about his pre-undead life and who spends most of his days hungering for human flesh. ![]()
