Although I am not a big fan of "Zom-Coms" (Zombie-Comedies) after seeing the high rating on IMDb I decided to give this one a try. Needless to say I found it to be more than a little disappointing for several reasons. First, it is my opinion that this particular sub-genre is a very difficult undertaking to begin with due to the simple fact that zombies are not typically "funny" and any comedy at their expense risks lessening their overall value--and subsequently that of the movie as a whole. Therefore, I believe that it is extremely important to have the audience invested in the main characters as their welfare or predicament is quite often the key to the entire film. Unfortunately, in this particular case the two main characters named "Woody Invincible" (Jordan Chan) and "Crazy Bee" (Sam Lee) were hardly worth any concern or sympathy as they were nothing more than mere street thugs. Perhaps if they had been "adorable losers" it might have changed things but as it was I certainly didn't care for them one way or the other. As a matter of fact, if anything the only characters of any interest was a mugging victim named "Rolls" (Angela Tong) and an abused wife named "Mrs. Kui" (Dorothy Elias-Fahn) due in part because of their unfortunate circumstances but also because but they both lent some nice scenery to an otherwise drab atmosphere. And then there was the awful decision to give ridiculous names to the characters like "Jelly" (Suk Yin Lai) and the aforementioned "Rolls". Quite frankly, I found this action to be both cheap and childish. Ditto the entire movie. Below average.
