About this Article

Nicholas Hoult is officially the cutest undead guy in the history of the zombie film genre. He's the star of "Warm Bodies," a dopey, schmaltzy "love will conquer all" premise, carried out with panache and sincerity by Jonathan Levine, who treats the story not as a zombie tale, but a thinly disguised plea for humanity to save our world by letting what unites us triumph over what divides us.
