Alex and Jack are best friends. Jack's girlfriend Penny is a lazy manipulative loser who finds fault with everything Jack does. On top of that, Penny doesn't work and expects Jack to support her and pay for everything, including taking out a loan to buy her a car. Yeah, you'll hate her.
After Alex and Jack get fired from their jobs, they accept new jobs with Zom-B-Gone, a company that handles requests for zombie removals. The Zom-B-Gone commercial is pretty funny with the announcer doing a Christopher Walken-like voice.
Not sure how I feel about this one. The comedy often falls flat, and the two lead characters aren't that appealing. But there were a few moments that made me laugh out loud. One of my favorite scenes was when their plan to kill the vampire involved dropping a grand piano three stories on top of him, like something out of the old silent movies or Three Stooges shorts. It was so ridiculous.
Although I ended up having mixed feelings about it, the movie does have some charm. I also liked the extras where they show short clips of before and after the effects (done via rotoscope) were added.
