What makes this more compelling than other light-hearted zombie movies, is that Scouts Guide is both a zombie movie but also a teenage coming of age story. Even though the zombies are obviously the main draw in Scouts Guide, it is the friendship that is tested between Augie, Ben and Carter that makes this film worthwhile to watch.
However, there are a few things that Scouts Guide could have done without. Women are treated mostly as objects of sexual attraction throughout this. It is definitely a teenage boy movie, so I am obviously not the target demographic for this. The humour is what you would expect for a teenage film for the most part, but there were a few moments where it just went a bit far. I have never been a fan of body humour, so maybe others will find those moments hilarious. But when we have the zombie boob groping, the penis detachment and the oral sex gone wrong, it did feel a little bit cheap.
