This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Whether or not we're talking about a zombie flick, whether or not it has a high budget or no budget, "My Dead Girlfriend" has some priceless zingers that'll have you laughing for a long time after the movie is over. Don't expect a madcap comedy like "Scary Movie", but the humor is more along the lines of Seinfeld or Friends... but with flesh eating zombies.Billed as a horror comedy, this movie puts more emphasis on comedy. There aren't a lot of special effects and surprisingly little gore. Instead, there's some great comedy dialogue and bizarro characters like "the super" who keeps showing up to fix the plumbing at the worst times, "the beer buddy" who insists he's an independent 40-year old while his mom yells at him to take out the trash, "the beer buddy's girlfriend" who is more or less the voice of reason to the point that she's calmly drinking brewskis while zombies are running around eating people's necks, and of course there's our hero, the clueless dolt who, upon accidentally running over someone, instead of--I dunno--calling an ambulance he calls upon the powers of demons to fix everything.The whole movie is very tongue-in-cheek and pokes fun at every horror movie cliché, right down to the anti-climactic line "this is generally when a cat jumps out". Also mocked are fake blood splattering scenes and a particularly voluminous vomit scene that must've required 10 gallons of pea soup, the chunky kind.This movie has so many quotable lines such as "Jesus! Who the hell throws an axe??" "Sorry, I got caught up in the moment." And "You're buying the milk... no you're buying the cow... You've got the milk you don't need a cow... uh.. Exactly!" And one of my faves, "I knew it, she's a stripper!"Tons more, but you really have to see the movie to get em. Like I was saying, imagine a sitcom with zombies and this is pretty much it. For some reason the Canadian accents make it even more hilarious. I don't know if director Brett Kelly and his troupe will ever be known as masters of the macabre, but they've got comedy gold.

I was impressed with the My Dead Girlfriend, it had everything I expected which was to enthrall us with good plot and character development yet with enough "zombie" to make it interesting (and quite funny).I was very impressed by Caitlin Delaney's (Amy) acting ability, she really convinces the audience that she is indeed a zombie. I was convinced the moment she died that she was indeed, no longer with the living.I only give it 8 of 10 because I think there should of been more effort in the scene ambiance lacked a zing and there was clearly a scene or two cut out (the girls going to the beach became an awful lot of people standing around in the woods alone, where one would of expected, well um - girls at the beach).

If you're extremely picky about how a film looks, you should know this is an independent movie with a low budget so it's pretty grainy throughout. However, that's just something they couldn't help due to their limitations, unlike Hollywood yet they still produce mostly crap.Now the movie itself though is a hoot 'n holler. The main characters acted by Brett Kelly and Caitlin DeLaney were a surprise to say the least. I started the movie not expecting much except some gore but those two plus an incredibly snappy script made for a very enjoyable movie. I would even say this is more of a comedy than a horror movie since there really isn't that much blood or gore and when they do show some it's a little thing. The rest of the film is mostly just jokes after another though.If you're up for some goofiness check this movie out. You'll enjoy it. And by the way there's something after the credits.

I would really like to know if this mckenzie-c guy had anything to do with the production, because none of the positive attributes he states in his review are in this boring clichéd nonsenical disasterpiece. Technically it's one step up from The Bonesetter, I'll give Brett Kelly that much. But that's hardly a compliment.After accidentally running over his girlfriend Amy with his car bumbling everyman Steve uses an ancient spell to revive her. Stop me if you've heard this plot before(like from "My Boyfriend's Back) but Steve then proceeds to hide Amy's current undead state from his friends and family. Therein lies the only joke,and no one's laughing.Ultimately My Dead Girlfriend is done in by bad writing and the amateurish performances. All the actors were friends of the director no doubt. At least Bonesetter had a more original premise.
