Firstly, I believe that zombie movies have been done to death, that the bad far outweigh the good. And secondly mixing romance, comedy and horror (zombies) successfully is a tough challenge. But legendary film director Joe Dante pulls it off with this one. But not only is it a zombie romantic comedy, it is also a great homage to horror movies, in particular the classic stuff. Good to see Dick Miller briefly as Crusty Old Cop! Nowhere near as good as say Shaun of the Dead but Burying the Ex is pretty enjoyable.
