"The first rule of
Zombieland: Cardio. When the zombie outbreak first hit, the
first to go, for obvious reasons... were the fatties." -
Columbus
Why watch this? As
advertised, it's Superbad meets Shaun of the Dead.
I'm in.
Plot Summary: A
timid, rule-following survivor named Columbus navigates a
post-apocalyptic America overrun by zombies, attempting to reach
his hometown in Ohio. Along the way, he teams up with a
gun-toting, Twinkie-obsessed survivor named Tallahassee and two
crafty sisters, Wichita and Little Rock. Together, this unlikely
quartet embarks on a dangerous, darkly comedic road trip across
the country.

Dad's Preview:
This deliciously witty horror comedy takes on the zombie
genre and ends up being one hell of a funny flick. It
never takes itself too serious. With all the carnage
around them, we somehow sense that our four protagonists
will find a way to come out on alive and intact. There
is a very unexpected cameo from a certain SNL alumni -
you will laugh out loud in that moment. It flow wells at
a pleasant pace. I also enjoyed the film's budding
relationship between Eisenberg and Stone, lovingly set
among bloody corpses and undead screams. So sweet. |
