The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Boy Eats Girl is a teen horror romantic comedy that is somewhat of a cross between Clueless and Dead Alive aka Brain Dead. I would say that this is more of a teen movie and has more in common with Clueless than Dead Alive though. I would not say that this is as good as either one of those, but also is certainly not bad at all either. This Irish production is not unlike most high school movies. It is centered around teen angst, has clean cut, nerdy guys trying to get laid, super hot girls and meat head jocks that get the hot girls and bully the nerds. Of course the hottest of these girls, is also the coolest and is love interest for our main character. Not atypical for the horror genre, messing around with voodoo is part of why the dead are running around town munching on your neighbor's innards. While the splatter and gore is not super abundant, when it does kick in it is awesome and is real well done. If you have seen a decent amount of movies, Boy Eats Girl probably won't rock your socks off. However, for a zombie comedy you could certainly do much worst. Some reviewers have compared this to Shaun Of The Dead, it is somewhat similar to that except Shaun Of The Dead is much more original and better than this.

This movie got the bad taste out of my mouth, after seeing blood car, this movie however is was fun movie.Even this movie had stereotype teens, who looked like they in mids 20's playing teens, if you can get past that. You end up really enjoying this movie.A boy declares his love for his girlfriend, only to die the same night. He is brought back to life by his mother, as a flesh-craving zombieI found this movie so-what Original, with mum bringing back her son after he killed himself.Also enjoyed some really decent funny moments, that work really well with the rest of the movie.There were some really good bloody messy scenes, which were fun to watch. 7 out of 10

...with the only thing of note about it being that it was made in Ireland, and given the over(t)ly earnest attempt to imitate American cinema/TV, its Gaelic origins hardly matter.If "Boy Eats Girl" really had a $5mil budget, the bulk of it must have gone to one of its ostensible leads, pop singer Samantha Mumba, who had a moment in the sun in a smallish part in the mostly-wretched 2002 remake of "The Time Machine," and apparently came away from the experience with the idea that she's an actress. She's not, and her casting in this bit of romzomcom dross is ample proof of that. She qualifies as a pretty face with a certain zaftig appeal, and, I'm sorry to say, not much more.The rest of the cast doesn't fare much better, and as is always the case, the blame must be placed squarely where it belongs, on the inept shoulders of the screenwriter, although I suppose the questionable efforts of a visionless director might also be to blame. The listless, threadbare plot, such as it is, focuses on a pathetic pretty boy who can't seem to score with the girl of his dreams and opts for suicide to relieve his miseries (apparently, he's never heard of masturbation). Mom resurrects him, though, thanks to a handy-dandy book of spells she's stolen from a nearby church, only she somehow overlooks a missing portion of the potion and ends up with sonny-boy as a slowly degenerating, infectious dead thingamabob who soon spreads the zombie meme to his classmates. The ensuing mayhem, delivered with all the finesse of a hamfisted school boy, features little in the way of hilarity, virtually no suspense, no horror, no pathos, and certainly nothing in the way of a fresh take on the genre. There's plenty of gore, which is eventually released in such paroxysms of spew and rubbery body parts that this viewer could only suspect that someone was trying desperately to make up for the paucity of everything that had gone before; none of it works on any level at all.I'd give "Boy Eats Girl" (said title, btw, being an insultingly brazen example of misrepresentation) an even lower rating if it weren't for a certain level of professionalism concealed within the thing. The cinematography is passable, if derivative (pointless dolly shots that do nothing to advance mood or plot, for instance), and the sets and locations, costumes, and so on are miles ahead of most exploitation cheapies, but none of it is of any avail. The best intentions still end up you-know-where.Boredom viewing only. Utter waste of time otherwise.

If you've seen "Die Nacht der Lebenden Loser" (I guess it's called "Night of the Living Dorks" in English), you can basically imagine this movie to be an exact rip-off, except that this one has more gore in it, but less good gags in exchange.That said: It's enjoyable. The gore and FX are well-done most of the time, the zombies do look decent. The acting isn't bad and there are actually some gags that work. It's too bad that most of them don't, however, at least not for me. The main character turns into a zombie more slowly than anybody else, but that's okay. The problem is, his desire to eat humans obviously is so small, it doesn't even count, and there are no funny scenes like "oops, I ate *insert name here*" or anything like that. Lots of occasions for gags wasted. For a comedy that's pretty lame.Still, there are a few gags in there, the zombies are decent, the gore is good and the story isn't that bad, which makes the film enjoyable.
