Cooties

The(ir) Blurb...

COOTIES is a horror comedy with unexpected laughs and unapologetic thrills. When a cafeteria food virus turns elementary school children into killer zombies, a group of misfit teachers must band together to escape the playground carnage. The film stars Elijah Wood (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings), Rainn Wilson ('The Office'), and Alison Pill ('The Newsroom') as teachers who fight to survive the mayhem while hilariously bickering in an uncomfortable love triangle on the worst Monday of their lives.

Jack McBrayer starred as a member of the ensemble cast of this horror-comedy as Tracey Lacey, one of the teachers at a small town Ohio elementary school who find themselves fighting for their lives after the students are turned into zombies. Lacey is a completely undeveloped character whose only dialogue serves to further the ongoing “is he/isn’t he” gay assumptions and jokes. Late in the film, Lacey does come out in response to a speech delivered before the teachers decide to fight their way out, with one of the other instructors responding that she knew all along. This type of “humor” is both extremely worn-out and simply unamusing.

Ooooh GLAAD, you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel...

This film - and, there's no other word for it - is excrement. It doesn't matter whether it has a positive depiction of LGBT folks...only the brain-dead would watch this through to the end.
