About
You’ll likely enjoy Little Monsters if you want a warmhearted zom-com with lots of kid-friendly chaos and darkly funny moments; Not for you if you dislike violent zombie gags or expect a nonstop zombie-fest, like Cockneys vs Zombies or Night of the Living Deb.
Pros: heartfelt zombie comedy; strong lead performance; lots of endearing kids | Cons: jokes uneven at times; character drama feels exaggerated; zombies arrive later
