A refreshingly different take on on the Zom-Rom-Com genre previously explored by the likes of "Shaun of the Dead", and a plethora of B, C, and D list offerings, that, actually, pretty much sticks the landing. Lupita Nyong'o is impressive as here, she displays a different side than her usual weirdo/warrior variants, and shows that, unlike the apocryphal W.C. Fields advice to "never work with children or animals", she has the range and chops to do BOTH, and, has fairly believable chemistry with Dave, played by Alexander England. Josh Gad goes sorta' against type as a semi failed actor who found success pretending to be a jovial and exuberant man who entertains kids and loves them. However, he is later revealed to actually be a perverted, selfish, abusive, arrogant, hypocritical, and alcoholic child-hater who is only interested in "boinking" their mothers, including single moms, married moms, pregnant moms,.. well, you get the point.

Not to be overlooked is the delightful, awesomely named Diesel La Torraca, as Dave's nephew Felix, with an honorable mention to Charlie Whitley as Max, who just wants to play putt putt golf.

Worth the watch if you're looking for a spot of less intense horror for an evening.
