Potato Salad (2015)
1/10
This movie is based on a really bad salad
4 November 2017
Warning: Spoilers
As this 'movie', if you can call it that, begins, it informs you that it is based on a real salad. This already sets a bar too high for the majority of the jokes in this movie.

The main character Leo will invoke an unsettling sense of deja vu for anyone who has also watched 'Freddy Got Fingered', and is generally unlikable throughout. The movie even seems to acknowledge that he should be despised at the end when he is revealed to have masterminded the entire zombie outbreak for his own gain with help from his Dad Walter Weiss (really).

The jokes are either mind-numbingly stupid, such the police having a barbecque in front of the outbreak, or extremely mean-spirited, such as a shot of a classroom where a child has hanged themselves. Occasionally there is something to laugh at, but it is usually a case of laughing at the movie, not laughing with the movie, such as when a scene is accidentally reminiscent of a porno, or when a particularly bad impression of Angela Merkel appears on-screen.

In general, if you like watching bad movies, watch it and then cross it off your list. If not, avoid it like it's a virus that'll turn you into a plastic-eating zombie!
