1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   Fido is a Laugh out Loud film. when I first heard about this movie from a friend of mine i was not only excited, I was confused. I I thought to myself " is a movie about domesticated zombies really going to work? even better that it’s set in a male dominated 50’s “leave it to Beaver” style sitcom? of course it will. with the casting and scripting of this hilarious and original film. if you haven’t seen this film yet now is the time to go check it out.

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   The acting is this movie isn’t something i would say that stands out. given the situation of the film and the setting of a “Leave it To Beaver” episode it was a “Quality Performance” but it was nothing that deserves an Oscar.

5. Male Stars Really Great 4.5

   K’Sun Ray was incredible in this role it’s good to see him in stuff other then minor roles on TV shows. his role was perfectly cast. if it was any other little boy i would have probably made fun of him most of the time. the role of the father was build for Dylan Baker he seems to always have the same attitude in every role he plays. I’m glad they cast Henry Czerny as the role of Mr. Bottoms if been waiting for him to have a break since the first Mission Impossible film from 96! and of we cannot forget our beloved Fido… who would of known that our 66 year’s young friend from Glasgow Scotland who plays the unforgettable “Il Duce” in the Boondock Saints"Billy Connolly" could do such a great job as our flesh eating friend Fido! oh and extra note on Billy Connolly while were at it, stay tuned for his appearance in the upcoming X-Files sequel yet to be named.

6. Female Stars Great 4.0

   Carrie-Anne Moss as Helen Robinson was mesmerizing the roles that lady can play just blow me away. it was no surprise that she did an outstanding job with her role. after her role in The Matrix Trilogy she has exploded onto the scene with all the energy she can muster and lets all hope she doesn’t slow down.

7. Female Costars Really Great 4.5

   Sonja Bennett as the steamy yet deceased Tammy was a treat. I’m pretty sure it was the directors intension’s to make you feel a little bit dirty when Tammy the zombie walks into a scene. on an interesting note Sonja Bennett “Tammy” has somehow managed to cram over 3 dozen different projects in 6 years, this girl in on fire!

8. Male Costars Good 3.0

   Tim Blake Nelson “Mr. Theopolis” is one of those actors out there that has a face but no name. lets hope he can keep up the mediocre parts until he can find one that shines before he has a role as an extra in a star bucks commercial.

10. Film

    Great 4.0

    just guessing from the setting of the film it didn’t take very long to shoot. they kept the idea that " we are safe in our city" in our minds pretty good. up until the end of the film and they showed you some zombies wandering around outside the gates i forgot we were not in the movie pleasantville aside from your random zombie attack.
