    • Trivia
      Nick Offerman can be heard narrating the documentary on Machu Pichu in the beginning of the film. One of the several ties to Aubrey's role in the series Parks and Recreation (2009-2015).
    • Goofs
      When Zach is inside the MRI scanner, he would not have been allowed to lift his head to look down as this would affect image acquisition. Also, it would not be possible for him to see his mother sitting in a chair reading a magazine as he stared down through the bore of the scanner. MRI scanners produce high magnetic fields and for safety reasons, the waiting area will not be in such close proximity to the scanner.
    • Quotes

      Erica Wexler: I'm so sorry about Beth, by the way. Your mom talked to my mom about it.

      Zach Orfman: I used to really want her to come back.

      Erica Wexler: Of course.

      Zach Orfman: But things are really complicated between us, you know? Like kind of fucked up.

      Erica Wexler: Right.

      Zach Orfman: Now, I just kind of wish she would stay dead.

    Beth dies, returns as a zombie - comedy ensues
    The exhausted zombie subgenre gets a much needed fresh take with this tiny budgeted horror comedy. A zombie epidemic is strictly background material and it begins with Zach played by Dane DeHaan, who does a good job here, grieving over the death of his girlfriend Beth. He bonds with her parents, played by John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon, who make the most of their underwritten parts. It's not before long that Beth returns and she and Zach continue their relationship - which is obviously headed for disaster. Aubrey Plaza does good work with her usual deadpan line readings and there's some hilarious scenes with her spastic rage and violence. Life After Beth is a small, lightweight film, the side characters can occasionally fall into sitcom-ish territory, but it does have some genuine big laughs.
