Remington seemed to grew up in a community where a lot of gay people live, yet they are still mocked and hated by most of the society. That is what makes the movie subversive. The movie somehow depicted the feminism slant. Remington's mother was a police officer so is her gay friend, while Remington's dad just managed their business. Hannah, Remington's girlfriend, became the dominant one in their relationship, with her making her own decisions for their relationship.
The title is funny enough, but if you'll take the time of watching the entire movie, you'll be dying from too much laughter. There were a lot of ridiculous things in the story that made the movie so funny. When Mrs. Montano roller skating inside her house and when the gay characters used gay lingo and matched it with excessive body language were just too much for me.
Martin Escudero played the role of Remington very well, even though I think it isn't easy for a straight actor to play a gay character, let alone doing a make-out scene with another guy (Remington's bestfriend played by Kerbie Zamora). It seems that he really exerted a lot of effort on understanding the character of Remington. Lauren Young's role as a strong-headed and cheerful girl gave the story more color.
Just as other films, Zombadings portrayed the gay community as people who can withstand the insults, even though sometimes they are below the belt. Making fun of the gender roles in the movie was entertaining, but at the same time it shows that they are ridiculous and everyone with different genders can do things they want to do. Maybe the film's message is to not discriminate gays, or else you could turn gay by a gay witch. There are too many gays it's gives me a headache.
But in all seriousness, I really liked this movie even though it's kind of weird. It's entertaining and a must-watch for everyone who's looking for a daily dose of laughter.
