Product Description
After zombies have overrun the world, a mismatched group of two men and two sisters head for an amusement park that is reportedly safe.
Amazon.com
If there's been a zombie apocalypse and you're road-tripping alone though the wasteland, you could do worse than run into Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a bourbon-swilling bad-boy butt-kicker with a really cool car. This is where the careful hero of Zombieland, a kid nicknamed Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), finds himself early in the film, and you can hardly blame him for hitching a ride with this swaggering Alpha Male. Still, they have their hands full not only with gibbering zombies but also with two sisters (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin) who will stop at nothing to reach a Disneyland-like amusement park in L.A. Although Zombieland gets off to a rocky start with Columbus's overly-cute narration (he's got a list of rules for surviving in the zombie world), it settles into an amusing comedy, regularly interrupted by bouts of blood-letting. The road-trip stuff is enough fun that when the movie does arrive at its version of Disneyland, the air goes out of it a little; sure, there's a giant zombie blowout, with entrails flying, but it's not quite the same. Director Ruben Fleischer keeps the gags coming, although the movie is often funnier in its odd little asides (both Eisenberg and Harrelson are expert at this) than in its official jokes. Comic high point: an interlude at the home of a very famous movie star, who plays himself--and we'll leave the spoiler unspoiled, in case anybody hasn't heard about this funny extended cameo. --Robert Horton

 Funny-scary August 29, 2010
James R. Gilligan (Lafayette, IN United States)
Horror movie spoofs are becoming pretty common--some of them are great ("Scream"), while others are just forgettable. The really good ones manage to both spoof the genre and simultaneously exploit its effectiveness. "Zombieland" does just that. The main character has developed a list of rules for surviving a zombie apocalypse, which we can easily assume he has developed from watching lots and lots of zombie movies. These rules flash on the screen at strategic moments, and we come to appreciate their wisdom. The plot, although clever and amusing, is subordinate to the characters here--Jesse Eisenberg as our hero (who suffers from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, a definite handicap when one is fighting zombies), Woody Harrelson as the bad-ass who's hiding deep sorrow, Abigail Breslin (yes, the girl from "Little Miss Sunshine") as a rough tween who fears nothing, and Bill Murray in a hysterical but all-too-brief cameo. This one is good scary fun.
 A pleasant surprise August 20, 2010
E. Geist (USA)
I love finding a great movie that I hadn't expected to be good. Most comedy zombie movies have disappointed me, to the point that I avoided this one for months. I'm in the minority, but I hated Shaun of the Dead. Consequently, I skipped past this one every time I saw it in the Redbox. Eventually, the reviews convinced me it was worth a rental, and I was so glad I was wrong.
The ultra-slow motion beginning credits pulled me in right away, almost as good a beginning as the Dawn of the Dead remake. Columbus's rules for survival were very funny, and the rest of the characters were well done. I particularly liked Emma Stone's character. Unpredictable, fast moving, well-written dialogue. I'm glad I finally watched this particular zombie comedy.

The cast is killer! I'll never get sick of watching this flick. Be sure to have Twinkies on hand... you understand once you watch it. ;-)

This movie is too funny....love it! The only wish is there where more zombie action, but other than that classic...with the occasional surprise! Can't really go wrong with some thing that has Woody Harrelson, and of course a great cameo from Bill Murray! Great comedy horror watch! I did see in the theatre and it was well worth the price of addmission! Woody is looking good!
