 "If you like zombie movies, you will like this one.... even at its worst, it's better than most movies of its kind -- disgusting but not too disgusting, and with a few laughs." |

 "...would be considered trite if made by another filmmaker, and yet it has such a family resemblance to other, better Woody Allen movies that it's easy to stick with it..." |

 "Along with the slapstick, there are musical numbers and a few surprise cameos. In the end, the film leaves you in a dance-happy mood." |

 "Midway through, Goldthwait upends the entire film and turns it into a pitch-black commentary on the vagaries and seductions of modern media celebrity..." |
