Critic Reviews

  • Ruth McCann, Washington Post

    Wildly implausible, slightly scary and plot-lite though Zombieland is, it stands to add a few comic bons mots to popular parlance.

  • Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader

    Scattershot but sharp, this postapocalyptic road comedy gives Shaun of the Dead a run for its money.

  • David Jenkins, Time Out

    Director Ruben Fleischer has his eyes trained on the comic jugular, and he attains an astronomical laugh count from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernickat's fizzing, pop-savvy script.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    By the time Zombieland reached its climax, I actually cared about who lived and died, and that reaction honestly took me by surprise.

  • Christopher Orr, The New Republic

    [E]verything Jennifer's Body was not--fast, funny, and fully aware of the obligations and opportunities inherent in the genre.

    One of the stand out movies of 2009, funny, violent, zombie filled and most of all original.

    "Zombieland" is a great movie with a lot of funny scenes. The pacing is perfect and the interactions between the characters will keep you engaged. One thing I particularly like is how throughout the film Columbus goes over rules on how to survive the zombie apocalypse.… More
