Life After Beth is a 2014 American zombie comedy film and it has a great cast of Aubrey Plaza, Dane DeHaan, Molly Shannon, Cheryl Hines, Paul Reiser, Matthew Gray Gubler, John C. Reilly, and Anna Kendrick.

A young man is shocked to find his deceased girlfriend Beth alive, who is no longer an adorable woman but a walking zombie.

5.7/ 10 on IMDB On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes the film has a 46% "In spite of Aubrey Plaza's committed performance, Life After Beth remains a sketch-worthy idea that's been uncomfortably stretched to feature length."

Regarding its classification as a rom zom com

Not very rommie

Despite it starring comedic actors

Molly Shannon from SNL

Anna Kendrick from Pitch Perfect

John c Reilly from Step Brothers

Aubrey plaza from Parks and Recreation

Paul Reiser from Mad about You and My Two Dads

It wasn’t all that commie

It was a bit zommie

However

It was still good in places. I do find Dane DeHaan in the same category as Scarlet Johansen, the dull monotone voice and lack of emotion. I don’t have a problem with him, and I've liked him in some movies, but if I am looking at comparing this to say Burying the Ex, Anton Yelchin did a far better job.

I tell you what it was, I was expecting this to be like The Voices, or some other movie where we follow the sad lead, who is mourning, and everyone else thinks he going mad, and he actually is. Maybe he killed the people he sees. Maybe he even killed Beth, kinda twist. Like…. The Voices.

As a zombie movie, the elements are there, as a rom zom com, they are there just not done in a comedic enough way. A waste really of the talents of all involved.

This one was dumb. Trailer park mullet sporting, C-word over-utilising Dutch thugs from opposing villages face off at the soccer games, drag races and facials over the local alcoholic pregnant prostitute. Until they have to join forces after an alien meteor crashes into farming country, causing the cows to overproduce zombie making milk.

It is dumber than is sounds. Best not watch if you are offended by gratuitous sex, violence, swearing, making fun of the disabled, or running over dogs. If you do like those things you may well love it.

5.5/10 for me. It was so dumb and OTT you can't score it as like it was anything else.

After two seasons and 9 hours of dare I call it entertainment? Michael and I recap our time in Roarton. Did we love it? We certainly enjoyed season 1. Season 2 less so, but it is certainly worth a watch. There are precious few zombie shows out there, and even fewer that re worth your time. Our recommendation? Watch season 1. Maybe season 2 if you have the ability to filter out dozens of pointless and incomplete plot lines and inane unnecessary characters.
