REVIEW: Zombieland

Rule # 72:  Mikey likey and you will to.

Everyone and I mean everyone, laughed out loud during this movie. 

Woody Harrelson was perfect in his role as Tallahassee:  “all I wanted was a Twinkie.”

Jesse Eisenberg, Michael Cera’s stunt double was also very likeable in his role as Columbus.

Emma Stone as Wichita proves fast girls move faster when there’s a zombie on your tail. 

And my how that kid from Signs, Abigail Breslin, has grown up fast. She was Little Rock and will rock your world.

This movie succeeds because it never takes its self seriously.  For instance there is a wonderful cameo by a wonderful comic actor that leads to a wonderful ending but I won’t spoil it for you.  You’ll have to see it for yourself.

This movie is not all guts and gore and Shaun of the Dead but is simply a laugh out loud fest.  In these desperate times, maybe this is what we all need right about now. 

4 out of 5 stars.

PS:  Heavy Metal soundtrack works wonders for this movie.  Van Halen’s Everybody Wants Some is a scene stealer just like it was in Better Off Dead.
