this was a fun twist on the zombie movie. Set in a 50 s backdrop what if Zombies were friends with the humans...then turn...this movie has heart but i found alot of it was kinda boring..but its still enough to recommend...

muito criativo!!! ótimoooooo e engraçado!!!

New dimension towards after-zombie-apocalypse theme. Domesticated zombies are more awesome than domesticated vampires, and by that I mean you, sparky. The atmosphere of pseudotranquil suburbs is always welcome.

An enjoyable concept. The movie started on a pretty good note, but failed to gain any ground after twenty minutes or so which caused to movie to fail on some fundamental level. Certain segments of this movie are worth watching, and fans of zombie films shouldn't pass this one up.

Entertaining little movie. If George A. Romero had made "Pleasantville, it might have looked like this. Billy Connolly is a sympathetic zombie, and Carrie-Anne Moss is absolutely gorgeous in those mid-century clothes.

Maybe not laugh-out-loud funny, but consistently amusing with no dead spots where you wait for the plot to go through its paces. There's more going on here (thankfully) than just a fish-in-the-barrel satire of the 50s. In fact, it probably would've worked better set in the present day, as its main concern is with a culture that cheapens life. Also, Billy Connelly is pretty great in the title role.

Hey guys! It's like Leave It To Beaver but with Zombies! Let's just make that one joke stretch for 90 minutes!

This movie had an interesting idea. Unfortunately the idea is not executed very well. Also the characters are not very interesting in this film. I was also expecting to laugh more.

An interesting take on the zombie flick.

It eventually gets trapped in its own silly jokes, but Fido dares to frame the zombies as some kind of modern slaves, that make people's lives easier and give them a social status. The walkers have never been so poorly -- and, in some ways, so gently -- treated. Finally, they are able to feel they are alive, with family, kids and an ordinary routine. Wearing a collar, now they can be the type of zombie that society accepts: fitter, happier and more productive.

A cute little idea of a movie and a must-see for zombie fans. It could have done more with the subject matter and put additional humor in; the table was set but it didn't always eat from it. If you don't already know who plays Fido, try to guess. I doubt you'll be able to.

"Fido never goes anywhere interesting or particularly funny with its sketch-comedy premise." - Nick Schager

Overall Enjoyment: 10/40, Plot/Themes: 10/20, Cinematography/Direction: 15/20, Acting/Writing: 10/20 Cool concept, but just not well executed. The movie tried to be funny, but was never able to illicit any more than a brief smile.

Never really ventures beyond its admittedly great one-trick premise. However it remains consistently enjoyable thanks to a decidedly tongue-in-cheek feel and excellent turns from the cast, especially Carrie-Anne Moss. Billy Connolly also does a great job in bringing a non-speaking role to (un)life. It's rarely laugh-out-loud funny and sometimes the zombies-being-stupid slapstick wears thin. Others have said there's a hidden layer of satire about modern consumerism in here but I didn't see it.

A cute concept but beyond the first 20 minutes the laughs dry up because you see the same sight gags over and over. Billy Connolly and Carrie-Anne Moss are both pretty good, with their performances rising above the cornball tone of the film. Sadly, the finale is let down by the low budget and the zombie outbreak is pretty tame.

a unique and original twist on a zombie movie. somehow this zombie movie is nostalgic and heartwarming at the same time, that's a first for a zombie flick.

Passes the time.

Nice

Remotely original, makes Lassie in zombieland out of the concept and ends up minor fun.

Who'da thunk any zombie film ever could be described as "charming"? Well there ya go.

Memorable and visually remarkable, and certainly a fun and effortless watch, but the idea of this movie is leaps and bounds better than the execution.

It has a very inspired concept, but once the set-up is over, the movie starts to lose its steam. There are some great comedic bits, and it's a somewhat new take on zombies ("somewhat", because Shaun of the Dead had similar ideas in the end -- though this once is set in campy post-war idyllic 50s America). Connolly shines in the titular dialog-free role, and Moss and Baker have the 50s vibe down pat. It is fun, but I just couldn't get into this movie as much as I wanted to. Still, worth a look.

not that clever one-trick-pony

It's a really silly movie, and that's why it appealed to me. It used so many generic conventions (and anti-conventions) that just made it a goofy film to sit back and relax to. I just had fun watching it, even if it got extremely slow in a lot of parts (in other words, it went way too long for a one joke premise).

i loved this movie......i might have even cried....

Piss poor attempt at originality; derivative and not particularly funny.
