What’s more, he has to do double-takes to realize that some of his new colleagues are crazier than the youngsters in their charge, including the macho phys ed dude Wade (Rainn Wilson), the gym teacher’s eternally upbeat girlfriend Lucy (Alison Pill), the socially backward Doug (Leigh Whannell, who spends his free time in the lounge reading a book on how to start a conversation, and the less developed characters of Tracy (Jack McBrayer) and Rebekkah (Nasim Pedrad). Figuring that the kids in the rural town of some 45,000 souls would be easy to handle, he could not have been more wrong. It’s no wonder that he needs to do something to raise money, even if he is living with his mother though into his twenties, but he picks a profession that’s even harder than writing a novel.

In fact he can’t quite construct an opening sentence. But if you’re a teacher or even a parent seeking revenge against some little monster, “Cooties” will meet your needs, at least for most of its 96 minutes’ length.Įlijah Wood stars as Clint Hadson, an aspiring young writer whose subject for a first novel is a boat that’s possessed, though Clint cannot get past Chapter one. If you generally do not care for zombie movies, you will not dig this one. Aside from the age of the zombies, this movie is as derivative as they come. The pace does not really slacken, the stereotypes of teachers and grade-school kids abound. “Cooties” is a zombie horror-melodrama that proceeds at a frantic pace, designed for the large segments of the movie audience that can’t sit still and listen to normal dialogue. The fourth graders do get killed such as by being clubbed on the head repeatedly with a fire extinguisher and by being run over by a truck and burned alive. Killing with all attendant blood is the order of the day in “Cooties,” which among other things violates the rule that you should not show little children getting killed. Anyone who eats the stuff becomes afflicted with cooties, a fictitious childhood disease. A bad piece of chicken becomes a murdernugget. Makes no difference that the entrée they choose is chicken nuggets and not burgers. Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion, who direct “Cooties” and Leigh Whannell and Ian Brennan who wrote the script do indeed opt to call some of this lunchroom food killers. They call the mysterious, gray meat “murderburgers,” though not usually expecting their listeners to take them literally. Kids all over the country do not like the food served in their cafeteria lunches, or at least pretend to hate the stuff in order to fit in.
