Starring Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer
First ever zom-com film! It's Romeo and Juliet meets zombies, except that everyone (including the zombies) lives happily ever after. The movie even contains the requisite balcony scene.
R (Hoult as the zombie) encounters Julie (Palmer) in a zombie horde attack, and it's love at first sight (after he eats her boyfriend's brain, of course). It takes a while for Julie to reciprocate his feelings, but after he saves her a bunch of times and plays vinyl records for her that expresses his emotions she thinks he might be more human than her cold-hearted father (John Malkovich, who actually reins in the crazy in this role). Their "families" oppose the zombie-boy girl relationship, but both sides realize they have a bigger threat to fight against.
Simplistic in plot, and logic is thrown out the window, the movie is still rather sweet and innocent. Surprisingly enjoyable.
Food: For zombies--brains. For humans after a zombie apocalypse--any canned goods, particularly canned fruit as it'll also hydrate you.
Drink: Bottled water, beer, or soda--just no tap water.
