Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone

Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears. If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies...( read more  read more... ), these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

    Hilarious and creepy all in one. Woody Harrelson is brilliantly funny and Jesse Eisenberg is just too cute. One of my new favorites.

    wasn?t bad. I thought it looked really stupid from the trailer, but it was bareable & well, some of the gore was actually gross! So points for that. I do somewhat like woody Harrelson in this. It is funny in its own ways. You may or may not laugh at the jokes. However should the...( read more)re be a zombie crisis, I?d use the list of rules that Columbus uses

    at least worth a rental

    Hits all the right Zombie notes, whilst managing to have an extraordinary sense of fun. I was never a fan of Shaun of the Dead, so it was nice to see a zombie film full of laughs. The film also builds upon some great relationships. They're a bunch of oddballs, but their personali...( read more)ties and dumb luck aid them in battling their way through Zombieland. It a film full of quirks, and the celebrity cameo is one of the best on film. The film also oozes cool by being gloriously geeky. The awesome opening credits, those quick witted rules, and numerous moments of fantastical genius. It's just a great damn action/comedy/horror and fills you with joy.

    "Zombieland" has everything you ask for in the title alone, the fact that it also happens to be really funny and well-developed, likable characters that makes it way better then any zombie film really needs.
    As far as plot goes there is not a whole lot to explain, just 81 minute...( read more)s of some of the most amazing zombie kills rank with Romero at his peak. While it doesn't have some of the flair or visionary style of those films. Writer and director Ruben Fleischer make up for those shortcomings through an excellent cast and dialogue. Everyone fits there role perfectly, while I'll personally have a special place in my heart for Michael Cera, Jesse Eisenberg is slowly taking over for it nerd, plus he shoots the crap out of zombies which always gives someone the edge. The scene stealer here though is Woody Harrelson, who seems to have never had as much fun with one movie as he does here while adding a surprising depth to the hillbilly with a shotgun role. Plus Emma Stone with a chainsaw makes me super weak in the knees. Add in what I'd argue is the greatest cameo EVER and you got yourself a good old time at the movies.
    Its certainly not perfect but has everything you could ask for from the genre plus a bunch of great surprises that makes it worth the trip to the theatre.

Critic Reviews

A.O. Scott, At the Movies

This movie is fundamentally empty. full review

October 2, 2009
Kurt Loder, MTV

'Zombieland' may be the first undead road-trip movie. The picture is light and unassuming, but it has a jaunty spirit; it's funny beyond the call of genre and - the cool part, of course - wonderfully ... full review

October 2, 2009
Claudia Puig, USA Today

The humor is vicious and the supporting cast is viscous. But underlying the carnage in Zombieland is a sweetly beating heart. full review

October 2, 2009
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

An improbably delicious comedy about a quartet of human survivors crossing an America that's been taken over by ravenous hordes. (There's even a Charlie Chaplin zombie working Hollywood Boulevard in f... full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Zombieland is a romance, a comedy, a road movie and a freewheeling schlock horrorfest, all in one. full review

October 2, 2009
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

What you're ultimately left with is a movie for people who think what they really would like to do tonight is watch zombies. full review

October 2, 2009
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Director Ruben Fleischer mixes fright and slapstick with bloody glee. And the surprise star cameo is a wowser. Enough said. full review

October 1, 2009
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Unlike its spiritual predecessor Shaun of the Dead, Fleischer's film doesn't really get either zombie movies or human relationships. full review

October 1, 2009
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

From its inventive opening credits to a surprise cameo and accompanying laugh-riot Ghostbusters homage, the zom-com Zombieland delivers gore and gags in equally satisfying spurts, so to speak. full review

October 1, 2009
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Zombieland makes up in laughter what it lacks in screams, and the arch weariness with which it looks out at undead America hides a frisky yet disturbing message: We're closer than we think. full review
