A cowardly shut-in named Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is forced to join up with a seasoned zombie slayer named Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) in order to survive the zombie apocalypse. 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.
I watched this movie a couple days ago with my brother who recommended it highly. This movie came out about two years ago, and if I remember correctly, my initial impression was that it seemed like a good movie, but the zombie-gore might be a little much. This impression was fairly accurate. The movie was definitely entertaining, it was funny, and quirky, and silly. The narration done by Eisenberg was a welcome aspect, the first bit where Columbus is going over the rules of Zombieland definitely got me interested in the movie, but there was a little too much gore for my delicate self. The part with Bill Murray was hilarious, and I guess the best way to describe this movie is just that it's entertaining. I did have some issue with the lack of back info. Columbus quickly explains the mad cow turned into mad people, and then they turned into zombies or something, it's not really clear how it happened or how it spread to fast, and if it was just the US or if it was the whole world. The ending was kind of disappointing as well, there isn't much resolution.
Overall though, this is a zombie movie that's meant to be funny, not scary, and it accomplishes this.
