1/4

The movie is full of nonsensical plot twists, embarrassingly broad performances and unappealing characters.

1/4

Simply put, absolutely none of it works. The movie utterly fails to set a foundation for its dark fantasy, effectively turning every character into a moron.

1.5/4

Unfortunately, the asides are about as sharp as Jell-O, and the dead-pan acting is just plain annoying after a while.

To put it in teenspeak, "My Boyfriend's Back," a saga of a decaying zombie lad, rots.

A sweet, and oddly touching tale of undead love.

Underrated 90’s gem, with great actors and a great soundtrack! The movie is goofy and fun, with the perfect ending which ties together all the crazy of the film!

This teenage zombie comedy is great, but only if you have a shred of a sense of humor. It’s exactly what it’s meant to be…a good time!

"He died for me. He came back from the dead for me. He ate someone for me. Everything that happened to him happened because he loved me." He is risen!

A lot more broad and goofy than I remember it being. There were a few chuckles to be had, but it just doesn't play as good as back in the day, or perhaps it's just made for a younger audience...
