About this movie

After a rough breakup, directionless Dave (Alexander England) crashes at his sister's place and spends his days expanding his young nephew's questionable vocabulary. When an opportunity arises to chaperone an upcoming school excursion alongside the charming and enigmatic teacher, Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong'o), Dave jumps at the chance to impress her. What he wasn't anticipating was Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad), an obnoxious children's television personality who shapes the excursion's activities. What he was expecting even less was a zombie invasion, which unfolds after an experiment at a nearby military base goes awry. Armed only with the resourcefulness of kindergartners, Dave, Miss Caroline, and Teddy must work together to keep the monsters at bay and carve a way out with their guts intact.

Ratings and reviews

No Idea why ratings are so high on this. It is an okay comedy movie with the light-hearted horror elements you cant take seriously at all. eg. zombies look like cheap Halloween costumes. That is fine, but Its listed on Google movies as a Horror movie. It is anything but a horror movie. and depending on your humor, it being listed as comedy is also questionable. It's basically the plot of a PG family movie with cheap comical violence added on the top. Not a movie for the thinking type.

Decent horror/comedy with a strong ocker tint ... after the first 20 minutes. The teacher and kid put in good performances that outweigh the unremarkable David. I'd strongly recommend skipping the first 20 minutes (the only lesson is 'David is a loser') and specifically the first 5 minutes - whoever thought it'd be a good idea to fill that with cringy screaming is an idiot.

Enjoyable light hearted zombie flick with some gore to put it into the horror genre. No scares or chills here, just standard zombie gore with some very funny touches. I thought the actors did a great job with a standard zombie script, it's not trying to be another Wyrmwood or Shaun of the Dead, but something in between. Some parts are laboured, like the loser back story, that just felt like un-necessary padding to me like I am doing in this review...
