    With its use of aggressively cheerful hues that are equal parts Technicolor and Tim Burton Candyland, Fido is a "boy and his dog" movie thrown into a horror movie blender. This is perfectly realized in a jaw-droppingly funny "Timmy's trapped in the well" sequence that almost seems like it could have been made in the 50s had George Romero ever worked on "Lassie."

    It's madly funny--a treat for moviegoers who don't mind gnawed-off limbs with their high jinks.

    Amusing without being particularly biting.

    This was really brilliant satire. Funny, dark and twisted. A must see!

    It's a good-natured "slice" into the zombie humour genre. Carrie-Anne Moss (who seems to be missing from the 'meta'-cast list above) is just as alluring as ever, and is even capable of giving Fido (Billy Connolly) a bone. The real star of the show is the next-door neighbor, Mr. Theopolis, who retains the services of a tennage zombie named Tammie, and who knows the inner-workings of the ZombieCon system while retaining his emotional connection to the re-animated undead. Hilarious stuff, really. The only real weakness is Dylan Baker, who is out of his element in this type of a flick.… Expand
