VOD: Love And Monsters (dir: Michael Matthews, 2021)

"Time to let someone else make the minestrone."

Weak title aside, Love And Monsters turns out to be a surprisingly fun and well-made YA  romp.  The tone of Zombieland and Tremors both loom large in a very positive way, as mutated creatures rule a post-apocalyptic-event Earth and the remains of humanity live underground, with our (anti-)hero choosing to face a difficult overground journey to another outpost to find his high-school crush.  Supported by decent CGI effects and a sweet dog companion, Dylan O'Brien once again proves to be a reliable and personable young lead who carries the whole film well in a lightweight but entertaining movie overall.
