Jack McBrayer, Nasim Pedrad and Jorge Garcia are among the other familiar adult faces. But a handful survive and spend the movie alternately running from the little rotters and trying to kill them.Īll this mars the first day on the job for Clint, a dorky substitute teacher played by Elijah Wood - yes, Frodo from “The Lord of the Rings.” And it happens just when he was striking a spark with another teacher, Lucy (Alison Pill of “The Newsroom”), and wondering if he might possibly lure her away from her cloddish boyfriend and fellow teacher, Wade (Rainn Wilson). Tainted chicken nuggets served at an elementary school turn its students into zombies, and - as if the teacher shortage weren’t already bad enough - a number of educators are quickly eaten. Depends, really, on how you feel about a blood bath set in a school, a teacher beating a zombified student to death and name actors romping through the groves of gross-out humor. Is “ Cooties” funny enough or scary enough or both to override its distastefulness? Tough call.
