Warm Bodies - A zombie love story....really?

Zombies aren't really my thing.  I've only seen one or two Resident Evil movie.  There's like a hundred of them.  Ok, not really, but there probably are over a 100 zombie movies.  I'm sure Warm Bodies is probably the first time one falls in love with a human and his cured of his zombiness.  I've pretty much just told you the entire movie.  If this is all you ever see of the movie, you'll be ok.  I mean, it's cute, and stupid, and a little funny, but let's be real.  A movie about a zombie who is cured by love can't be that good.  The two guys who left the movie when the zombie and the girl kissed left 10 minutes too soon.  Well, there wasn't much left after that, but I can see how once it got to that point you'd be fed up and want to leave.

Warm Bodies is based on Isaac Marion's very popular novel with the same name.  I'm sure the book was better which is usually the case.  They both are about a Zombie named R played by Nicholas Hoult who thinks and feels and is bored with being a zombie.  During his hunt for food (humans) with his friends, he meets and falls for Julie (Teresa Palmer) who's father happens to be the leader of the humans.  Julie catches his eye and heart, and R decides to keep Julie safe.  They spend time together and develop feelings for one another and discover that caring for each other is curing him and his zombie friends.  The bonies who are even more zombie than R and his friends don't like this change and decide to hunt Julie and R.  Julie tries to explain this to her father played by John Malkovich.  He doesn't believe it until he shoots R, and R begins to bleed.  He stops the war against zombies and helps them fight the bonies.  

I guess the point of the movie is that we need to spend more time with each other caring for each other instead of being on our phones, ipads, and computers all the time.  Nice sentiment.  Just a very cheesy way to get the point across.  Warm Bodies wasn't bad, but it wasn't good.  If you have an extra 90+ minutes to kill, knock yourself out, but if not, stay home or go see something else.  I've heard Zero Dark Thirty is good.  I still haven't seen it.  Go see it and tell me about it, and pass on Warm Bodies.
