    Wait, Wait, Don't Bore Me...
    Of course I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" given the fact that it was a zombie movie of sorts. Sure, I hadn't even heard about "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" prior to now in 2021, when I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it. So I didn't know what to expect from it.

    But with a rating of 3,2 on IMDb as I sat down to watch it, I must admit that my expectations weren't exactly sky-high. And with good cause, because "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" was not a great movie in any aspects.

    It should be said that it definitely felt like the people involved in the movie were putting their hearts and spirits into it, because while it was a low budget movie, the spirit of wanting to achieve something greater and make a good zombie movie was definitely there. But ultimately, writer and director Adam Lippe just didn't make it to the finish line.

    "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" had potential, that was for certain. But it just ended up being just another run-of-the-mill low budget zombie movie with its heart in the right place - pardon the pun. "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" didn't offer anything new to the genre, nor did it manage to stand out in the vast number of similar movies.

    The special effects in "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" were dubious at best. And that was something that held the movie back, because zombie movies need to have convincing special effects that look great and realistic, in order to win me over. "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" just didn't have that.

    The acting performers in the movie were so-so. I mean, you could tell that people were enjoying themselves participating in the movie, but the performances just weren't high-end quality performances. So it had the public theater feel to it.

    "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" was a movie that snuck in under the radar and it will just as quietly return back into oblivion, without having caused a lasting impression. This is the type of zombie movie that you will watch once, and never again, only to completely forget about its existence.

    My rating of "Wait, Wait, Don't Kill Me" lands on a two out of ten stars.
