Zombieland
2009 (Ruben Fleischer) 14A, 88 min
Starring: Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson
“Welcome to the United States of Zombieland,” and so starts this zom-com romping road trip. Dorky Columbus (Eisenberg of Adventureland) is afraid of just about everything from being alone in bathrooms to clowns (but aren’t we all). So what’s a dork to do when those pesky zombies overrun the Earth? He writes a long list of safety rules including such stellar items as “don’t be a hero” and “always look in the back seat” to keep him from joining the lumbering horde. On his travels he meets up with his exact opposite, the badass, AK-toting Tallahassee (Harrelson, having way too much fun), a self-proclaimed zombie killing machine just out to find a decent Twinkie. As on all zombie road trips, they are eventually joined by two savvy sisters who find inventive ways to stay alive on their quest to find a theme park they remember from childhood. A thoroughly enjoyable weirdo cinematic experience with just the right brand of cheesiness. Remember — loads of zombies equal loads of fun.
