Life After Beth (2014)

Starring: Aubrey Plaza, Dane DeHaan, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Paul Reiser, Cheryl Hines
Director: Jeff Baena

Premise:
A young man is grieving from his girlfriend's recent accidental death when he finds out she has returned. However something is different about her.

My Take:
A film that uses zombies more in the rom-com format. At times it works and others it doesn't. The cast is enjoyable and plays it straight which helps. The third act brings the story to more of an epic scale, but then tries to wrap it all up in a happy ending. It's a watchable flick.

Rating: In the middle
