My Boyfriend's Back, a review by addicted2dvd

My Boyfriend's Back
Teenager Johnny Dingle will do anything to keep his date with the hottest girl in school - even come back from the grave! You see, Johnny had the perfect scheme to win the heart of Missy McCloud, the town beauty. Unfortunately, Johnny's scam goes sour and he winds up dead! Even so, Johnny's determined to keep his date - unaware of the hilarity waiting for him upon his return! See for yourself why everyone's dying to see this outlandishly funny comedy!

My Thoughts:
Hmmmm... what is it that I think about this movie. On one hand it is a fun little Romantic comedy horror. It has an enjoyable story and they do some fun things with the fact that he is a zombie. Like when he is making out with his girl in the care she starts to nibble on his ear and his ear falls off. Being a zombie movie they had to put some gore into it. which of course is done more in a comedic way... and really don't look that real or anything. On the other hand there is a lot of over-acting... and I really didn't care for the comic book inserts into the movie. Not to mention some of the stuff in the movie was just plain silly. I am happy I added it to my collection. But it isn't one I would really watch that often.

I guess I first have to stress the fact, that there are no song and dance numbers in this one. Seems to be important for some people 
If you enjoy movies about underdog sports teams, I think you will enjoy this one. It's about the Indian national women's hockey team. Interesting about it are the difficulties they are facing. For one thing they have to fight for their place because in India women are not supposed to be playing hockey but are supposed to be housewives. The other big issue is, that these women come from different parts of India. Not only do the character clash, but the trainer also has to deal with the cultural prejudices the team members have against each other. So the movie is more serious than similar movies I know.
Shah Rukh Khan stars as the trainer. He did a great job. He plays it rather low key, which is not something I know SRK to do.
I am usually do not like to watch sports games, but I have to admit that I was on the edge of my seat in the final match of this movie.

It started of really strange and I was not sure if I would like it, but it got better and better. Originally I had planned to only watch this first volume now and the second volume much later. But now I am really curious how it will continue, so I probably will watch the second volume soon.
