Product Description ZOMBIELAND (BR/2 DISC/WS 2.40 A/DD 5.1/ENG-SUB/FR-
Amazon.com If there's been a zombie apocalypse and you're road-tripping alone though the wasteland, you could do worse than run into Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a bourbon-swilling bad-boy butt-kicker with a really cool car. This is where the careful hero of Zombieland, a kid nicknamed Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), finds himself early in the film, and you can hardly blame him for hitching a ride with this swaggering Alpha Male. Still, they have their hands full not only with gibbering zombies but also with two sisters (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin) who will stop at nothing to reach a Disneyland-like amusement park in L.A. Although Zombieland gets off to a rocky start with Columbus's overly-cute narration (he's got a list of rules for surviving in the zombie world), it settles into an amusing comedy, regularly interrupted by bouts of blood-letting. The road-trip stuff is enough fun that when the movie does arrive at its version of Disneyland, the air goes out of it a little; sure, there's a giant zombie blowout, with entrails flying, but it's not quite the same. Director Ruben Fleischer keeps the gags coming, although the movie is often funnier in its odd little asides (both Eisenberg and Harrelson are expert at this) than in its official jokes. Comic high point: an interlude at the home of a very famous movie star, who plays himself--and we'll leave the spoiler unspoiled, in case anybody hasn't heard about this funny extended cameo. --Robert Horton

Average Zombie Movie - Stupid Humans March 15, 2010 Michael D. Sepesy (Cleveland, OH USA) Zombieland is not as much fun as Sean of the Dead (which in turn is not as much fun as it could have been) in part because the characters do things that seem designed by the screenwriters rather than sensible actions of people whose lives are threatened. The best section of the film, because it is surprising and funny, is when the survivors stumble upon Bill Murray's house and meet Bill Murray. However, once holed up in a comfortable mansion well protected from the walking dead, there is no reason for them to leave. As a result, a contrived reason is invented that makes the characters look stupid. The two females must visit an amusement park. Let's forget that there would really be no electricity available because no one would be around to make it happen. When the two females arrive at the amusement park, they turn on all of the electricity. Gee, do you think that amount of light, noise, and movement might attract zombies? Of course. But there is some lame personal need they are fulfilling that causes them to endanger everyone's lives. The men show up and must rescue the women, which teaches the protagonist that sometimes one must forsake personal rules to be a hero. Sound familiar? That's because much of what happens in this flick is familiar.
Therein lies the major weakness of the film. One thing that separates Romero films, or more serious zombie films, from this sort of consumer product is that Zombieland resorts to transforming the zombie film into a teen romance. In addition, there is repetitive and blatantly obnoxious product placement--so much so that these internal advertisements are made integral to the plot. Repetitively, Woody Harrelson forsakes all credibility by prostituting himself for Hostess Twinkies. In addition, I look forward to the end of the popularity of current crop of charmless leading teens like Jesse Eisenberg, Michael Cera, and Shia LaBeouf, who are supposed to represent some fake alternative sort of maleness, but in reality are just interchangeable zeroes with a limited range of mannerisms.
Overall a cute film that will probably have more influence than it should on people without imaginations who mistake its stitching together of old film tropes to be novelty and originality.
Good spoof March 15, 2010 Horror movie holic (St. Louis, MO) I admit I had slightly higher expectations for laughs, but it was a very Dawn of the Dead (original version) like movie. It had little to offer in the way of actual horror, but did a great job at spoofing the genre in the same way that the book "Zombie Survival Guide" did complete with instructional narratives of the various "rules" to surviving the zombie apocalypse. A must see for hard core zombie fans, but I'm not sure everyone else would get much out of it.
Okay movie March 15, 2010 sarah risner (Oklahoma) This wasn't an excellent movie, but if your bored it's entertaining. I wouldn't give it an award or anything, but for entertainment value it was okay. I would have bought the DVD rather than the Blu-ray though. It would have been cheaper.
my new favorite movie March 14, 2010 broken shift key 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my new faverite movie it's like Juno with zombies. As soon as I was rocking out to \m/METTALICA\m/ at the beggening I knew I was in for a wild thrill ride. It has some great writting and humor, like when the little girl said "12 is the new 20." AAHAHAHAHA. My favorite part was when the surly survivalist type guy liked twinnkies! LMFAO! he like's twiknkies but he' sa tough guy but he likes twinekies anyway.............. lol......
Great Movie March 14, 2010 Nic (Midwestern USA) I enjoyed this movie greatly. One of the better movies I've seen in the last few years. It has been described as "Superbad meets Shaun of the Dead" and while I wouldn't specifically say that is inaccurate, I wouldn't personally describe it as such. It has similar elements from both, but it has a lot more too.
It's very funny, and very fun to watch. The actors did a very nice job, especially the young Abigail Breslin. This is perhaps Woody Harrelson's finest performance as well. The zombies were well done and the special effects were good. I would recommend this to any zombie lover, or anyone who likes a good comedy.
