Zombie Evelyn got screwed

Don't know how you conclude that someone's a loser when you haven't even met them. What's your definition of a loser, anyway, someone who disagrees with you about movies?

You're wrong, BTW. I don't read Cosmo or watch teen TV soaps on CW or on any other channel. Oops...


Actors do not have a job...they have a blast!

I second that!!!
I had a girlfriend pretty much like that. The only difference is that she wasn't a vegan.
But everything else...
Even the fact that she went bat $hit crazy when I broke up with her.

Since yours is a good/mature question, I've chosen to respond.

I agree with most of what you said. True, we just saw the conclusion of what was obviously a miserable relationship where Max was pulling the emotional weight, and hewas perfectly justified to end it. Despite the physical aspect of their relationship, there was little they had in common. Max only appeared to wise up because of his half-brother's advice, the latter whom was an unqualified moron with no credibility on relationships.

I also never believed Max was responsible to apologize on account of her behavior or shortcomings anytime she messed up; I only believe he had skewed judgment when it came to dealing with their disagreements. In every situation they had a disagreement, Evelyn seemed repentant and at least willing to solve the issue when she saw how much she upset Max. Evelyn's 'bad' behavior was also not as unacceptable as the movie would have out. In a real-world scenario, for example, getting upset about your boyfriend's half-brother carousing naked with some strange girls in your place of dwelling is perfectly acceptable. It's also normal for a girl to get defensive, in a more reserved manner mind you, at her guy's flirtation (intentional or unintentional) with another girl IN FRONT of you. So unless commentators here are advocating open relationships, being on guard against outside intrusion is a part of a healthy relationship. I can promise if Alexandra D'addario starts getting friendly with me at an ice cream counter, my wife going to eventually voice her distaste with a cold look, utterance, or choice discussion...that's just the way it works. And some commentators had various problems with her worldview (vegan, environmentalist). That, too, isn't Evelyn's problem. It's her right, as it is Max's to indulge in horror culture. It's just simply up to each of them are willing to put up with from the other.

At the end of the day, my problem is just with the writing of the characters. Max's character was okay (and played by the effective Anton Yelchin, God rest his soul), but the whole premise didn't quite horrify as I expected when I got the film. I think it would've been more effective if they made Evelyn a true, walking nightmare instead of sweet, forgiving girl with a bit jealous of Max. They could've made her obnoxious, vengeful, and psychotic. Perhaps if she was physically or verbally abusive, always threatening to castrate Max, was trying to run dogs over instead of adopting them, or was a junkie or severe alcoholic...sure. That's a girl you don't want to keep around, let alone have coming back from the dead for you. Plus, the movie could've been set up for some great horror and comedy scenes. And with a zombie as a key character, there should've been a MUCH higher kill list. It's just a rule.

It's just a silly but watchable film. And it has Ashley Greene. For me, that helps.
