Warm Bodies Reviews
Seven Days
It starts bold and finishes timid and tepid, unable to do justice to its conceit.

Reel Film Reviews
...an erratic yet passable entry in the teen-romance genre.

The Patriot Ledger
A wildly imaginative redressing of 'Romeo and Juliet' in stylish zombie clothing.

Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
Don't think too hard, just enjoy a zombie movie with a twist to go with its 'Walking Dead' charm.

| Original Score: B
Rip It Up
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.

3AW
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.

The Mercury
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.

MovieFIX
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.

Triple J
Sometimes feels like the script doesn't quite know where it's going but has plenty of fun getting there.

The Aristocrat
...the film's horror element is hamstrung by its bloodless rating, so the filmmakers often focus on the immaculate cheekbones of their leads...

Cinema Autopsy
While Warm Bodies is more slanted towards comedy and romance rather than horror, it remains true to the zombie genre while pushing it in an unexpected direction.

Concrete Playground
It's your classic tale of 'boy meets girl, boy tries not to eat girl'.

| Original Score: 4/5
The Sun Herald
An occasionally funny romantic zombie comedy (or rom-zom-com) that offers a fresh twist on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

| Original Score: 6/10
Badass Digest
Not a particularly substantial film, but a charming, lovable one.
The Popcorn Junkie
Takes the notion of zombie meets girl an turns it into something that's so crazy that it works

Shared Darkness
A funky, fresh tale of adolescent self-doubt and blossoming love funneled through the prism of post-apocalyptic zombiedom, Warm Bodies conjures a lovely, commingled tone of wistfulness and witticism.

Movies With Butter
I somehow think this "sensitive parable" took a little too much from Scott Pilgrim.

The movie doesn't stand out much in memory - nothing in it really pops - but it's enjoyable while it lasts.
