What can a person say about a zombie love story? "Hooray!" comes to mind.
After the Zombie wars, people live in fenced communities and the remaining zombies have been collared by ZomCon so that they make useful, if slow, domestic servants.
Timmy (K'Sun Ray) is not popular at school because he asks questions like "are Zombies dead or alive?"
The 1950s sitcom idyll is broken when Timmy's mother (Carrie-Anne Moss), tired of being the only one on the street without a Zombie, buys one (Billy Connolly). Timmy's father (Dylan Baker) has personal reasons to hate and fear Zombies and agrees to keep him only if he is chained up in the backyard when he isn't working. Timmy, a very compassionate child, decides to name him "Fido" after the Zombie protects him from the class bullies.
A funny movie, and quite sweet as it deals with issues of discrimination and fear.
There was a Lionsgate thingie (sorry I don't know the term) before the movie, so there's hope that a wider audience will be able to get a good laugh out of this movie.
