Movie Info
A funny new twist on a classic love story, WARM BODIES is a poignant tale about the power of human connection. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform

This is a love story, done with charm, humor, and tenderness.
Top CriticIt's all very silly and sweet in that indie-nostalgic way that Levine ('The Wackness' and '50/50') has made his own.
This is a bloody fresh twist on the zombie genre.
Warm Bodies is a funnier and pleasantly cheaper-grade movie than Twilight that aims to draw in both Bella & Edward lovers and haters.
Warm Bodies even suggests that true love can help the right zombie grow a new heart. That's a con job that makes Bodies lukewarm at best.
Though R's mind is nimble in (very witty) voiceover, out loud he can only express himself in a series of groans and grumbles--as touching a metaphor for love-struck adolescence as we may see at the movies this year.
A strong ending can hide a multitude of sins, and Warm Bodies is perhaps the only zombie movie I've seen that sent me out of the theater feeling happy
A surprisingly-funny zombie film boasting a killer soundtrack and a great script.
It's a zombie movie that's the opposite of a zombie movie, which is a reason to sorta love it.
I imagine if Taylor Swift made horror movies, "Warm Bodies" would be one of her creations.
while Levine's film may distinguish itself both as genre flick and romance, there are problems in its writing that no amount of unnatural love can quite cure.
Warm Bodies is a charming, fresh and always funny "zom-com" with a lot of heart, thanks to director Jonathan Levine's ability to explore love in the most unexpected of places.
As one might expect from a zombie romance, the film doesn't pack a lot of big ideas. Still, the concept is original, and watching it unfold is loads of fun.
A reasonably diverting blend of horror, comedy and romance
It may be no more than a post-modern update on Beauty and the Beast, but in its success we can see a whole new way of turning the walking dead into something beyond the scary
It starts bold and finishes timid and tepid, unable to do justice to its conceit.
...an erratic yet passable entry in the teen-romance genre.
A wildly imaginative redressing of 'Romeo and Juliet' in stylish zombie clothing.
Don't think too hard, just enjoy a zombie movie with a twist to go with its 'Walking Dead' charm.
Not too horrific, despite a few early attacks and munchings, this is worth it for the music, the genre joking, Palmer's cool performance and Hoult's committed turn as 'R', easily the sweetest zombie in all cinema.
A fun mashing of genres that joins the spate of recent films that recasts traditional movie ghouls as misunderstood outsiders. Seems that even the Undead need love.
To call this an unlikely love story is an understatement, but it is precisely this level of weirdness that makes the romance between R and Julia so surprisingly touching.
With more romantic mushiness than the brain-chomping kind.
My zombie boyfriend.
If you love the un-dead humour of Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead, but want an Edward Scissorhands-meets-Romeo and Juliet style romance on the side - then this is the film for you.
