Well that was much better than the plot suggested. Very decent direction with believable scenarios and action sequences where people are actually hurt when they fall through roofs etc
I really expected this to suck especially disliking most romantic films and loving the Zombie genre but this really worked. The few action set pieces worked really well and the films romantic angle never slipped into sickly gushing crap or quirky for quirky sake either. Very subtle and well played by all. A perfect date movie I guess.
A slightly preposterous storyline is saved by some good old action that is not watered down for the mass market. An old school action film whereby people actually bleed, hurt and swear! A drop or two of decent one liners may have helped a bit though!
First off. I don't do Family Guy. I don't dislike it but I am not a big fan of animated comedy so I watched this with no comparison to Family Guy. This is probably a one time only movie. There were some really funny lines and Ted looks simply amazing but take away an uncouth, foul mouthed talking teddy bear and you are left with a very slight romantic film that doesn't really hit the mark. The Flash Gordon homages are great though but yes we get it Mr Mcfarlane Flash Gordon is obviously your favourite film!
