As Tallahassee sets out on a mission to find the last Twinkie on Earth, the duo meets up with Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), two young girls who have resorted to some rather unorthodox methods to survive amidst the chaos. Reluctant partners in the battle against the undead, all four soon begin to wonder if it might be better to simply take their chances alone. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

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.
