Had potential, but...

The synopsis of this movie is what caught my interest, and the DVD cover also brandished 'the best zom-rom-com since Shaun of the Dead'. So I will say that the playing field for this movie was right there for a home-run.

But the movie turned out to be just another mediocre zombie movie, and I will say that "Warm Bodies" was much, much better than "Life After Beth". So there is a comparison for you right there.

While "Life After Beth" started out alright, then director Jeff Baena set up the scenario for more than he could handle, and t he movie just fell to a heap of disappointing pieces.

There wasn't a single moment throughout the movie that made me laugh, so for a comedy, then the movie failed to deliver. The movie was adequate entertainment, don't get me wrong, but it hardly sustains more than a single viewing.

The cast list was good though, and people were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters.

"Life After Beth" was a mediocre movie that set out to accomplish more than it could handle, and as such it scores a very mediocre five out of ten stars from me.

The film COULD have worked...but clearly didn't.

The overall score for "Life After Beth" on IMDB is about 5.7...which actually means it's below average compared to other films. Why? After all, zombie films are pretty popular...and why is this one not especially good? It's really confusing since the cast is excellent and it should have been better.

When the story begins, Beth had just died a few days ago. Her family and boyfriend are naturally upset, as she was only 21 when she died. But, out of the blue, Beth (Aubrey Plaza) returns home one night....and although dead, she doesn't know it and her parents refuse to tell her lest it upset her return! But over time, it's obvious that Beth ain't normal...and her boyfriend realizes it but her parents still are in denial. And, through the course of the film, the problems with Beth get worse.... MUCH worse.

So what went wrong with an interesting story idea and this interesting cast? Well, there are two main problems. First, the pacing is dreadfully slow at times and the ending just seems to drag on and on....and on. In fact, after Beth and the zombie outbreak is taken care of, the film STILL continues for a bit! Second, the movie didn't seem to know whether it was a comedy or a drama. I think sticking with comedy and really running with it would have made for a fun film, like "Ed and His Dead Mother" or "Fido". Instead, it's amazing how dull the film could be despite some really bloody and amazing scenes. Overall, it's a film strictly for zombie film addicts...others probably will want to find something else.

Funny and scary ... or is it?

Comedy is a tough cookie and sometimes does not sell as good. And while this movie did not exactly meet my expectations (after all the good things that were written 6 months ago, it seemed to be a real hit), it isn't as bad as it is rated here on IMDb. Maybe people were really disappointed and voted that way, but maybe they just didn't like the way/humor this has.

Whatever the case, it is uncomfortable and it is funny at times. It could have done with some tweaks and be better at times (either more funny or more inject more horror to it), but it still works most of the time. It's really an achievement by the actors that this is as good as it got, even though we were all hoping for a bit more. Decent effort
