5.0 out of 5 stars You have to be able to GET this type of dark humor! "PRETTY!!!!!"
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
This is one of those films you either "get" or...you don't. This type of silly, dark humor will have some keeled over but others will be rolling their eyes. Me? I roll my eyes at the typical "bathroom scene" in movies featuring people like Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell, or Jim Carrey. Really? ANOTHER diarrhea + broken-toilet-at-the-girlfriend's-house joke? Yawn...

Life After Beth features a whole lot of dark, edgy, silly humor. It's intelligent humor in that it doesn't rely on crass potty jokes to be funny. I'm sorry, but most of what Hollywood thinks is funny these days, I haven't found funny since I left the sixth grade. This movie isn't perfect, but it was definitely funny. I laughed during most scenes. It's funny in a dark, Napoleon Dynamite meets Warm Bodies sort of way, with a side of Tim Burton. Yes, this film had a touch of Edward Scissorhands quirk to it.

It wasn't perfect, my main complaint being that they got ANNA KENDRICK on board, then underused her. Anna could have added SO much more to this movie. That said, Aubrey Plaza as Beth, was a hit. In human form, she was a bit annoying--reminiscent of Mila Kunis's character on That 70s Show--but as a human-turning-zombie? She was hysterical. She nails it.

John C. Reily and Molly Shannon add a perfect touch of semi-realistic ridiculousness in their roles as Beth's parents. The film is not too long or drawn out. Yes, the plot is silly at times, but it was perfect (I thought) for one of those nights when you just need to check out of real life and laugh at something silly. To enjoy this type of movie, you really have to have a feel for dark, quirky humor that will go over the heads of many who, in my opinion, take themselves too seriously. If you can sit around with your friends laughing over each other's impressions and awkward moment stories, take on this movie in that same sort of tone. As for the humor and delivery on behalf of the writers, director, and actors of this film: I think it's BRILLIANT!

Here is one part I found to be the peak of the best humor in Life After Beth: The zombies in the movie chill out to smooth jazz, but as things escalate as Beth's zombie side takes over her human side. At this point in the film, there is just a hint of her human side left. Despite being strapped to an OVEN to prevent her from attacking, her human boyfriend agrees to take zombie Beth on a hike. So they are hiking up this mountain, she's walking like a zombie--but with an oven on her back--and a radio attached to her plays ridiculous soft jazz. I mean, it's just so ridiculous looking that it was hysterical. She's drooling, her teeth are green, she looks like death, she's grunting, yet when she sees the view at the top of their hike, she says--in a TOTALLY DEMONIC voice--"Pretty!!! PRETTY!!!" Apparently Zombie Beth was still Beth enough to appreciate the view. She walks awkwardly next to her bewildered boyfriend, "Smell the lavender!!!....LAVENDER!!!" she says, her voice low and gravelly.

Ever since watching this film, my spouse and I have been saying, "PRETTY!" in low monster voices every time we see a pretty sunset. Of course, some would find this type of humor immature, I find it quirky and silly and totally lacking in crass potty humor, so that's just fine by me. I *almost* listened to the critics reviews and passed on this movie, I'm glad I didn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning to let go
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2015

This is not so much a zombie/ comedy. It is instead a message, perhaps a healing one, on how to let go of a loved one who has passed. The story is mainly focused around the grief stages of the main male character. The world does not right itself until he makes peace with the facts of death. Laughter can be a great healer. There is a great deal of morbid comedy liberally sprinkled throughout the story which had me sometimes laughing out loud. "Hikers will understand."

At times I felt bored and almost stopped watching the movie, but on deeper reflection I realized it was not boredom which I was feeling. Rather, This movie has a strong undertone of depression and morbidity, neither of which is my cup of tea, thus I had trouble identifying with the story beyond an intellectual level.

All in all I'm glad I watched this movie. I couldn't care less about actors, famous or otherwise, but I always love a good story, well told. Life After Beth is one of those stories.

Excellent script and nice touches (the zombies emerge as regular folk, just as confused as the other characters, but hilariously with no short term memories. The Director is awful IMHO. Pacing, structure, continuity damage an otherwise good movie. Sad. Director never decided whether the movie was a farce or a thriller or a love story. This made for lots of tonal clashes and situations where the some the characters in scene look like idiots (farce), some exuberantly and inappropriately clamping together despite “everything”, and others reacting with terror and confusion in every single scene from start to finish (thriller). Nothing develops, it all just appears.

3.0 out of 5 stars You may enjoy it if you like subtle yet campy comedy with a spritz of horror.
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2015

If you enjoy CAMPY comedy-horror, you should give this a try. It has similarities to Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead (though not as good as Shaun of the Dead, as it didn't have that dry british wit)
John C. Reilly, imo, is one of Hollywoods most underrated actors. His delivery is impeccable. He needs to be in more movies.
I like the way they turned an unoriginal zombie movie into a rom/com of unresolved teen/early 20's romance, and how he gets a second chance to tell her how he really feels about her. It also gives you some insight as to what the resurrected person goes through before going full zombie and the parents accepting and thinking it's a miracle she's back. The zombies start off as happy go lucky versions of their previous selves but kind of off kilter and not all there, clueless of their death before they lose their minds and start going into zombie mode. Although Beth is the only one we see violence from. The rest is just hinted. Another thing that makes it campy is that all the other characters don't panic and get really paranoid when they see the zombies. They're more in a confused sense of denial.
There were a lot of holes in the script Though. The biggest one was that there was absolutely no explanation as to WHY the dead began to come back, not even a simple one like a chemical spill. I would have given it an additional star if this part was resolved.
There is some great comedy in this movie. Now if only the writers and director hadn't kind of seemed to lose focus somewhere in the middle of the movie, it would have been one of those that could have turned into a cult comedy horror classic like Sam Raimi's Evil Dead (though that was much more of a horror movie.)
Life After Beth had it's really funny moments. I will just hint at them so there are no real spoilers:
the zombies liking jazz,
they like attics (not explained why) but it's funny, - nor is it explained why she puts mud on the walls
The Haitian guy pronouncing penis pen-ees,
When Zach asks Beth if he wants to eat her and she looks at him with coy shock and says, not with her parents around.
The dead mailman just saying hi and giving Zach a bunch of mail that's not theirs and drives erratically away.
Zach telling Erica he can breath through his nose around her.
"What happened to all the formica? I paid $28,000 for this house- this from the resurrected former owners of Zachs house.
The scene where Beths mom feeds her with her own fingers was hilarious. The whole chained to the stove scene that follows and the hiking was fantastic (especially with the boom box around her neck and Beth growls to Zach to smell the lavender)!!!
There's also a lot of subtle humor that may go unnoticed if you don't get into the movie.This is one of those movies that is way funnier if you watch it with a group of people.It is more a rom/com and less a horror flick (I don't like zombie movies in general unless they are spoofy like this) Also, as I said its campy so you shouldn't try to have any of it "make sense" as if you are watching a serious movie. All in all I enjoyed it despite it's flaws. It's fun, quirky with surprising amount of heart and plenty of good actors.
