The freshest comedy I've seen in AGES!

Instead of turning a comedy into a bit of a zombie movie, they made a zombie movie into a comedy. Does that make sense? No gore is spared due to the comedy... I watched a few people leave the theatre after the first sign of blood and goo! Well done!

It left me with a taste of Office Space meets The Office meets 28 Days Later, all great in their own right! But they pull this off without spoofing, it really is a one of a kind piece of work for all those who love dry, black comedy... and bloody guts!

I highly recommend this movie to those looking for some light-hearted bloody good times! Not recommended for the squeamish or humourless...

It's not too often that a movie comes along that is so bad it makes me angry... but this is one.

I kept waiting for a laugh that never came, and was further insulted by the non-committal soundtrack. Was it supposed to insinuate girl-power? Maybe if you like country/rock uplifting go-girl artists... maybe its just me.

Mike Myers absolutely stole the few scenes he did appear in, but wasn't enough to make this movie bearable. And although it was painted a la Down With Love, it did nothing to uphold the style statement it seemed to be trying to make.

ooooh pink and blue! It stunk.

Okay, this film isn't for everyone. A little dreary, a little bleak, and the love scenes weren't always attractive, but something in the dark simplicity got me.

McGregor is incredibly versatile, I didn't think once of the bohemian poet Christian, or of Obi Wan... he's taken on an unlikeable character with a slow moving plot and pulled it off beautifully.

Tilda Swinton plays the antithesis of a Hollywood seductress, which makes some of the love scenes uncomfortable, but refreshing. The acting, as a whole, is the entire film. The action between characters is subtle and intense, and although I may be biased as an Ewan fan, I thought it was perfect for a dark, rainy night!
