Zombieland

ZOMBIELAND (2009) - Oct. 5, 2009
A really fun movie about a group of survivors of the zombie apocalypse, who travel across the country in the hopes of reaching a supposedly zombie-free theme park. Well directed by Ruben Fleischer, the film is kind of thin on plot, but it's so enjoyable that you don't even really notice. It helps that the characters are all really good (it's always nice to see Woody Harrelson on the big screen; Jesse Eisenberg was just as good as an unlikely survivor of the zombie plague) and the film is quite funny throughout (particularly a hilarious cameo by Bill Murray, playing himself). As far as zombie comedies go this isn't quite on the level of Shaun of the Dead, but it's actually surprisingly close. ****
