Movie Review: "Zombieland", Overall Good - 3.5 out of 5 beams. Zombie movies aren't my thing – but comedies are – and this zombie comedy rocks. Amply LOL and with fewer clunkers than most comedies, it's consistently if not convulsively funny. Gross too, but the whole zombie shtick – what with the blood vomit and cannibalism and such – is so over-the-top as to be kind of funny after a while.

Woody Harrelson & Jesse Eisenberg make appealingly mismatched buddies, each thick in his own way. More importantly, these proven comic actors know how to set up and bring home their bits. Woody’s performance recalls Natural Born Killers, an infamous role from earlier in his career.

Speaking of careers, Eisenberg’s is clearly burgeoning, notwithstanding that he’s kind of stuck in amusement park movies: Adventureland and now Z-Land.


Emma Stone & Abigail Breslin make a cute and clever sister act. Big sis Stone wields her huge brown doe eyes like man melting lasers. Lil sis Breslin proved herself an accomplished actress as Little Miss Sunshine, and she doesn’t disappoint here.

As a zombie newbie, I found it something of a revelation the number of bits you can get from them. For starters, they’re “people” you’re supposed to kill, so they create a legalized serial killing vibe, where solid citizens go around offing their zombie brethren. In some cases they start off normal – even attractive – before turning into dark and dangerous creatures, a not unfamiliar situation to anyone who’s ever been in a bad relationship.


Finally, how is it that zombies are superhuman strong yet deathly sick? Hell, most of them probably couldn’t masticate their way through a good sized Porterhouse prior to becoming a zombie, yet once bitten they readily cannibalize their still living comrades without so much as breaking a tooth.

I’m just saying.
