No secret has been made of the fact that I adore the zombie romcom, Warm Bodies. I saw it quite on a whim, and loved it ever since then. Though I didn’t get a chance to re-watch it leading up to All Hallows Eve (though I won’t say that I won’t still watch it, because, it’s Warm Bodies), I did relive it in some sense. romantic movie scene spotlight: r and julie
FILM REVIEW | Warm Bodies (2013) – A Zombie RomCom Adaptation
As an excuse, I mean, I had to for an article I was working on, I did re-watch clips of this one, and awww. Cuteness. Overload.
Though its quirky (and admittedly, strange), this is one of those films I adore. Do I want to watch it every weekend? No. But then there are very few films that do inspire a once-a-week-rewatch kind of emotion. Today I’m sharing a snippet of the Romantic Moment feature I wrote for Silver Petticoat.
The romance between the star-crossed lovers, R and Julie (who’d thought it from a zombie flick??) is as charming, sweet and swoon-y as I remember. Check out the full feature, and tell me all your thoughts!

I don't know if I'd quite say R is swoony, but I do love this movie so much. :)
Not physically (because ZOMBIE!!), but I do love how he cares for and sweetly pursues Julie, it's all – weirdly – swoon-ish. ;)
Glad you're a fan too, Lauren.
This is SUCH a fun movie! I loved the book too- I just think it's great how it can be both serious and funny and full of emotion! I definitely like them together! I hope you were able to get the rewatch in, too :)
Ditto, Shannon!! I love how "warm" and sweet this story is. I didn't read the book, but never say never. :)
Julie and R are definitely a "ship" couple for me – and thanks! I didn't sneak in a re-watch, but it's never too late, right?? ;)
Thanks for visiting!
