3.0 out of 5 stars File under: "Will never get the credit it deserves", April 10, 1999

Honestly, I can't stress enough that this movie, while not particularly good on the surface, is much smarter than it appears. The entire cast acts under the hazy impression that rising zombies aren't that out of the ordinary. Seeing a high-schooler chastise his undead friend for eating another student with the line "Colleges look at this sort of thing!" is indicative of the type of humor at work here. Take it for what it's worth. No, this isn't Oscar material, but 20 years from now, this will be a cult classic. I laughed all the way through at the concept of a zombie's (living) parents gleefully assisting in his cannabalism. But hey, that's just me.

man i really love this movie. this film is so much fun. it's hokey and cheesy. It's also FUNNY AS HELL! Don't listen to the numb-skulls that say it sucks. those people need to go see a proctologist b/c there is something stuck up their.......anyway, this movie is a lot of fun to watch. i've seen it too many times to count & i never get sick of it. i liken it to the princess bride in that way (before anyone jumps down my throat for that comment i am NOT comparing these 2 movies. they are totally different. i just want to say that i enjoy the humor in each so much that i always feel like watching both movies over & over again.) every character is funny in his/her own way & all are played well by the actors. many of whom i recognize but i don't know their names. i know the dad is the guy that played the head vampire in lost boys. otherwise i'm not sure who they are but they are funny! The doctor is absolutely hilarious, i think he might be my favorite character.

This review is from: My Boyfriend's Back (DVD)

I saw this movie a couple years ago and thought it was really funny. I've tried to tell a couple people that I work with about it but they don't seem to remember it or have no clue what I am talking about.

On another note, to Movie Lover, the name of the song is "Hanging on for Dear Life" by MMC. I can promise that this is correct, because I just bought the CD and the song is on it.
