Fido

[Zero]

i generally liked it - sort of disappointing in ways but overall pretty good (i kept wishing John Waters had directed it)

The premise and setting had me going, but the main character was boring -- even for a zombie.

I got the black comedy satire of the fifties culture, in general, but it seemed to wander into a poke at the old 'Lassie' series or something? I lost interest after a while.

I thought it was pretty interesting.
Not hugely funny.
I liked the "reality" it was set in, bit like "Stubbs".
Did not think Fido was the "main" character at all, I thought it was the boy.
I found it watchable, I enjoyed the music and found it refreshing to have a zombie film without "hordes".
I can see how it might not be for the zombie enthusiast everywhere, but, for me I strive to see different films of this type.

I thought the film was hilarious. I know subtlety and nuance are lost on many in this day and age, but this film was very well crafted. Billy Connoly turned in a masterful performance, showing more humanity than many of the "human" characters.
