"Time to nut up or shut up!" ZOMBIELAND REVIEW

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2009)

First off, this is one of my first comments on this site. So to all you wannabe Eberts, cut me some slack.
Once I sat down in the theater I really wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. I had heard great reviews and the trailer caught my attention, but something kept telling me this movie might not live up to any expectations. I couldn't have been more wrong, Zombieland is one of those movies where once you leave the theater you'll be talking about this movie for awhile. Just the sheer amount of "oh snap" moments (mostly death scenes or kills, I won't go into too much detail) will make want to yell "OOOOH" followed by a burst of laughter.
I think the main thing I was concerned about was Jesse Eisenberg. I thought Adventureland was a great movie, but in all honesty he ruined that movie with all his Michael Cera-like attributes. However, this time around he wasn't as annoying, he still played that same exact role but it fit this time around. Besides that everyone else did a terrific job.
The cameo that was being talked about all over the internet exceeded all the hype. Know about who's making the cameo didn't ruin it for me, it only made it funnier. Guaranteed you'll laugh at the screen time he has, especially his final minutes (hope that didn't give too much away).
To end my rant, just go see the movie. It's worth every penny, but go see it on a weekend night. Honestly, the audience's reactions were priceless and well worth sitting in a crowded theater. Hope you thought my input was worthwhile and have fun watching a great movie.
