My review of the book is here: http://rereadingeverybookiown.blogspot.com/2014/01/warm-bodies-novel.html. The main thing I want to add is that my enjoyment has faded after so many viewings in 2 1/2 years, although it remains better than the book. I think part of the problem is that as the film goes on, it loses its contrast between R's internal monologue and his inarticulate zombie shell. The movie becomes more of a standard apocalyptic narrative, although still with moments of humor and sweetness. And it remains impressive that a zom-rom-com is actually a workable sub-sub-genre.
Dave Franco, who plays Perry, would do the voice for Wally in The Lego Movie.
