IMDb users rated it 5.5/10, expressing disappointment over the underwhelming execution of the zombie comedy genre. Metacritic rates it at 53/100, citing the film's inability to fully engage viewers despite its potential. While some appreciated the film's offbeat humor and deadpan performances, others found it to be a disjointed and aimless zombie flick that lacks substance.
