Zombie movies rock.
Starting a review with an immature statement like that may just be because of my young age, or because of how much fun ‘Zombieland’ is. Consider how many memorable moments they pack into 75 minutes. ‘Zombieland’ is a lot of fun, just think of it as a buddy comedy with two guys that couldn’t be more different, but the catch is that they’re dodging flesh-eating, organ-vomiting zombies. That’s basically all that ‘Zombieland’ is, although they eventually team up with a woman and her young sister and make way to Los Angeles.
Before I say anything else, I must tell you that ‘Zombieland’ has one of the best cameos ever. EVER. It’s not so much the celebrity that makes it funny (although he is hilarious), but the circumstances of it and what happens to him. Before your friend ruins it for you, you have to see it for yourself.
Woody Harrelson, as a 40-something, shotgun-toting redneck and Jesse Eisenberg as a neurotic teenager form an unlikely pair, that team up in a world over-run by – you guessed it, zombies. Eisenberg, as the film progresses, presents us rules by which to survive – i.e., Check the back seat of a car, don’t be a hero, etc. However, it’s not scary at all – somewhat surprising given the title. It focuses on action, and has a pretty awesome ending where the characters use rides in a theme park as weapons.
‘Zombieland’ is a memorable comedy packed with action, over-the-top gore, and an awesome cameo. It’s not life-changing, but is stupid entertainment at it’s finest. B+
A lot of useful information. Thank you!
