FIDO (2006)
91 min. Rating: 14A
DIRECTOR: Andrew Currie
WRITER: Robert Chomiak, Andrew Currie and Dennis Heaton
9/10 REEL Student Rating (9 votes)

Plot Summary
Welcome to Willard, a small idyllic town lost in a strange and humorous 1950's parallel universe, where the sun shines every day, everybody knows their neighbour, and zombies carry the mail. Visually captivating, sly and clever, Fido follows the Robinson family, who have been hesitant to get a zombie of their own to help around the house even though everyone on the block has one. But all that changes when Mom buys Fido and the loveable brute becomes young Timmy’s best friend. Fido is a zombie comedy like no other, a funny, satirical and refreshing movie with an all-star cast and a standout performance by stand-up comic Billy Connolly as Fido.

The ideas that were represented were uniquely Canadianian and made me feel proud to be a Canadian. Overall, Fido is a good comedy and is definitely worth seeing.

Definitely an interesting, humorous watch with blood and action that just seems to make the movie funnier. A bit draggish at time and even a bit too absurd but it did the job and kept us entertained.
