Life After Beth Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Baena co-wrote "I Heart Huckabees" and while he has a sense of humor, the jokes here tend to be meager and tend to dribble on.
Richard Roeper.com
Richard Roeper
The movie is DOA from scene one and is never resuscitated.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Life After Beth starts feeling more conventional the wilder and darker it gets.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Halfway through, the story loses momentum, becoming a listless, predictable Saturday Night Live skit.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The movie runs out of steam, though not blood, long before it's over.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Kristin Tillotson
A quirky spirit pervasive throughout and great supporting cast, including Anna Kendrick, make it a semi-satisfying "zomb-edy."
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Life After Beth" may have revived the ultimate girlfriend from hell, but it's still wan, listless and derivative in bringing her to undead life.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
This is a talented comedic cast, but in the second half of the film they don't get to do a lot that's funny.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Plaza gives the film its motor, and if Baena's control of the material is occasionally uncertain, 'Life After Beth' plays best when it feeds off her manic, gonzo energy, and runs with it.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Once it's safely slotted in the overworked zom-com genre, there's no reason to keep watching.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Plaza, whose wide-eyed stare suggests a zombie as painted by Margaret Keane, plausibly navigates Beth's journey into full-throttle Linda Blair demonic dementia.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Starts with promise and has some darkly funny scenes but grows listless, repetitive and plodding, the cinematic equivalent of a zombie.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
In 'Life After Beth,' Dane Dehaan is, pretty much, the straight man to Aubrey Plaza as Beth; who does a great job and never winks at the audience.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Seasoned actors are left to yell pointlessly at one another, while Beth and the zombie angle slowly decompose.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
It may be time to put the zombie trend to rest. At least that's what writer-director Jeff Baena's initially promising, and ultimately disappointing, directorial debut suggests.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
"Life After Beth" gets into the well-tread zombie-comedy territory in a clever and inspired way. Then it doesn't get out of it nearly so skillfully.
Observer
Matthew Kassel
Even if Life After Beth is a unique entry in the zombie canon, it still registers as overkill. One gets the sense that Mr. Baena should have let this one die.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
The film just kind of sits there, gradually escalating a zombie apocalypse and hoping that having the zombies retain a smidgen of humanity as they turn homicidal will somehow automatically yield hilarity and poignancy.
Orange County Register
Michael Sragow
First-time writer-director Baena casts the film slyly and directs individual sequences with a lot of sneaky wit.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
What might have been a snappy short is interminable at feature length, the mayhem-in-suburbia conceit generating few laughs as it stomps along.
