Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, Bill Murray

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.

    Fine for the mainstream audience but die hard horror buffs and more specifically zombie aficionados will probably be disappointed as it brings nothing new to the table. It's funny in parts and Harrelson is a joy to watch but its just not very gory or scary (excluding one well pla...( read more)ced jump).

    As a horror movie junkie who happens to be partial to the slapstick of the genre and who likes a little cheese with her gore, I really enjoyed Zombieland. If Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright ( Shaun Of The Dead ), Andrew Currie, Roberk Comiack ( Fido ) George A. Romero's (The orignal Zom...( read more)bie master...1788's Dawn Of The Dead ) thoughts could be collected the result would eerily resemble this film.
    I have the give it up to Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick for their colaborated efforts in writing this film, especially since most of their background in writing for the screen comes in television form. Sometimes when writers pen for the big screen, after doing TV it shows up in the final product. We've all seen that film, where it just kind of goes dead and drags out, about 40 minutes in. Zombieland does not suffer that horrid fate, it manages to keep your attention with a good story, the right amounts of gore, and some humor sprinkled in.
    Ruben Fleischer did a good job directing his cast on this one. Often times, with a script focusing around a small group of characters through out the whole film, it can be hard to keep things interesting. Mr. Fleischer chose a fine group of actors to portray his characters and didn't have that problem.
    Woody Harrelson was superb as Tallahasse. It kind of reminded me, in part, of his role as Mickey Knox in Natural Born Killers. There is just something about a man with a gun and a lust for blood that makes me weak in the knees. Even if it is Zombie blood. I really enjoyed Jesse Eisenburg as Columbus. I remember him in The Village and think that he could become a very well crafted, humorous actor, if given half the chance. Emma Stone is amazing. I have delevoped a little crush on her. She is beautiful, smart, and very talented. So, I will watch most everything she does. My only note about her as Witchita, was that I prefer her as a red head. Other than that she was great. Abigail Breslin stold my heart in Little Miss Sunshine and is turning out to be a fine little actress. The chemisry between the two girls was very believable in this film. Which is a good thing, when playing siblings. I have seen movies where you just don't buy that two people would ever be related, let alone even speak to each other.
    My favorite part about this film was...Naturally ... the great Bill Murray. That was classic. I just wish I could have seen of him, since I a huge fan. To quote Tallahasse " God Damn it. Bill Fucking Muray." Enough said.
    If you like comedy and zombie movies, you will no doubt love Zombieland. Although some what predictible ( but lets face it what zombie movie isn't slightly...), it was still a good ride. I say Zombieland is a must see for any horror movie junkie.

    The most fun your gonna have at a horror movie, its just that great of a time. An instant classic, it stands with greats of it's genre like Shaun of the dead or Slither. A gut-bustingly hilarious and heart-pounding horror-comedy that's a real roller-coaster of action and laughs. ...( read more)A flat-out awesome, thrilling, freighting and adrenaline-pumping flick from start to finish. Woody Harrelson gives an outrageously funny performance. A savage mixture of zombies and old-school buddy move fun. Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson are terrific together, they got great chemistry proving to be a very funny and charismatic team. It's a non-stop joy-ride that delivers exhilarating fun and it never lets up. It's cool and original. Loads of blood-splattered gore and pulse-pounding excitement. I loved it.

    As played out as zombies are at the moment, Zombieland manages to still feel fresh thanks to a wonderful sense of humor. A short running time also helps. Plenty of zombie gore for fans, though it's the comic bits that you walk away with afterward.

A.O. Scott, At the Movies

This movie is fundamentally empty. full review

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

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

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
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Who would have guessed such a funny movie as Zombieland could be made around zombies? No thanks to the zombies. full review
