A lot more… introspective/pretentious existential crisis than I expected. Definitely not the funny teen zom-com one would expect from the movie (they thankfully aged down R’s character to a teen, because having a “corporate zombie” adult man forming an attachment to a teenaged girl is shady.) There is also some weird sexual stuff in a few early scenes.
Long & short, I would have DNF’d if not for a reading challenge prompt I had to fulfill (Romeo & Juliet retelling).
