“Life After Beth”: First-Look Review
Though this clunky, amateurish film with a zombie premise fails to excite, Aubrey Plaza remains an undeniable star throughout. So says The Guardian, with the critic adding: ‘”You know,†I thought to myself during one of the many circumlocutory and not-particularly-funny sequences in “Life After Beth,” “this is probably some sort of metaphor about the universal desire to retain one’s youth.†I would have pursued this line of thinking further if I thought the movie deserved the effort, but instead I spent its numerous dull spots offering up a Hollywood prayer. Please, someone, anyone, give Aubrey Plaza better material.’
