I love zombies. I love Lassie. Therefore, I love Fido. This movie is completely adorable (does that kill the scary part?) and does a fine job balancing both comedy and the flesh eating undead.

First, I'd like to point out that I'd personally really enjoy having a pet zombie and I have more than a few annoying neighbours I wouldn't mind introducing him too. So please, ladies and gents, if you know of any good zombies in need of a new home, I'm your gal.

This movie is a mesh between Pleasantville and Day of the Dead- but you know that already as every single review possible has pointed out the obvious. The various references to other movies, as well as the fabulous cast seem to make this mesh work extremely well. What's with all the hinted zombie and human love? Not going to lie, I kinda liked it.

Unlike other zombie movies, Fido is more fun than run and for that, I say thanks darlin'! But don't worry, zombie fans, there is still plenty of munching on flesh and the token kill shots. But who doesn't want some fun loving zombie to play catch with, save you from the local bullies, and seduce your mom- uh, what?

This movie ruled. Go pick it up.

Highly recommended.
