The hilarity comes from the absurdity of the situation, from usually-child-friendly Josh Gad swearing and mentions of sex addiction to "There are little kids in the middle of a zombie outbreak".
Which is a great idea, but the wee mites are set dressing for something more interesting that never comes. Much of the movie is situated in one area, there are typical story and character beats.
No one is terrible, the script is underwhelming. I am super interested to know why Lupita Nyong'o picked this project in particular. It's a nice change from her even if it doesn't go all of the way.
I wish it had been a little longer and a little more serious, but it's nice.
Though, there is nothing more on brand at having the US military go into a foriegn land and attempt to kill children.
