Review of Fido (2006) by Kj P — 09 Mar 2012
"Fido" is one of the only films in history to show emotion between a zombie and human. So the story we have all known about zombies is forgotten. Once you die, you become a zombie who is either locked up or wears a collar that stabilizes you as you become a slave for humans.
As a lonely kids family purchases one of these zombies, he falls in love with him, gives him a name, and becomes his best friend. Like all of the zombies, they may have malfunctions at any moment and go on a killing spree.
This premise is very silly and almost downright laughable, but I believe that is what the overall idea is trying to convey. I absolutely adored this film, even though it is very very dull and stupid at times.
Is it the best comedy ever? No, but it will make you laugh your ass off, while still being able to hold together enough emotion and plot details to have great storytelling throughout. The acting is decent, but Billy Connolly really stole the show as Fido.
This film is hilarious and oddly heartwarming. I definitely give it a recommendation.
