OMG!!!!!! I love this SyFy movie! Greg Grunberg and Neil Grayston are fantastic together! They are so friggin funny. I was laughing out loud a lot!
I liked all the references to other Sci-Fi movies most. There were so many I couldn't begin to remember them all - "I love you. / I know"; Princess Leia mentioned; The Abyss; ET; The Mummy; War Games; and so many others. This is truly a geek movie.
Another thing I liked about it was, yes, stuff blew up. And people exploded. And there was a cool van. And they had apocalypse planning. And.... you get my drift.
I do wish the movie did better on the people explosions. That was kinda lame. They could have had more gore there. Also, I would have liked to have seen the mom live. That was sad.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes Sci-Fi. You'll love it.
Favorite Lines: "Maybe an obsession with Sci-Fi its not so bad."; "Could you shut up while I'm handling a nuclear warhead?"

Don't expect a Horrible Bosses or Bridesmaid type movie when you see this. It wasn't as good. I think that was a mistake I was making - thinking it would be as good as Horrible Bosses / Bridesmaid. I still want to marry Jason Bateman though.
The movie was funny, but I think there was a lot more potential there that the writer didn't grasp. There was more they could have done to make it funnier, but they didn't. It did get a bit too ridiculous at times and the amount of times they threw in sex references was just unnecessary.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Robert Patrick in the movie. Dang is he still looking good! He's like almost 55 years old! I have a soft spot for him since he was in The X-Files. And in Stargate: Atlantis. And in Psych.
I would recommend seeing it, because it is entertaining. Wait for when it's rentable though. It's not something that needs to be seen on the big screen.
Favorite Scene: Diana taping up Skip in the van

Zombies!!!! I liked this movie oodles. It had zombies in it. It was pretty funny too. Did I mention it had zombies?
I know it's suppose to be a 'love story' type movie, but I really would have liked to have seen more zombie eating. They didn't do much with human / zombie interaction except for R and Julie. They could have thrown in some scenes where people were sent out looking for Julie and they run into zombies and then zombies get brains!
The voice over for most of the movie worked well for me. It was highly amusing and I laughed out loud numerous times. There were a little too many flashbacks though. I think they should have gone lighter on the flashbacks and harder on the zombie violence.
Favorite Scene: At the beginning when R was in the airport and saw his best friend. Grunt groan grunt groan... hahhahahha
