I wouldn't call it Top 250 worthy on IMDb, but it's certainly a fun filled ride.

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2010)

Zombieland isn't overrated by any means, but I do think calling it 250 worthy is pushing it. Zombieland benefits from never taking itself too seriously, and having the perfect balance of Comedy and Action, with a bunch of great characters that we can all root for. It starts off with a tremendous opening of the movie, introducing us to Jesse Eisenberg's character, Columbus. I loved how he gave us the set of rules that he had to survive the Zombies and that, it was funny and quite inventive. I thought the movie's main strength was the fantastic chemistry of Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson. Jessie is kind of the wimpish, yet endearing character who sucks it up when he has too, to outwit the Zombies, while Woody enjoys killing them off, and relishes it. It's just a very smart Comedy/Horror film that does what it sets out to do well. I also found it amusing how Wichita|Stone| and Little Rock|Breslin| kept conning Columbus and Tallahassee, the Bill Murray cameo was a nice touch too.
Performances. Woody Harrelson is a new bad ass hero of mine, with his portrayal of Tallahassee here. He's funny, he kicks all kinds of but, and his charisma is untouchable!. Jesse Eisenberg is the perfect reluctant hero. His quirky antics, and the way he acted always managed to put a smile on my face. While Tallahassee was my favorite character, Jessie was probably the heart of the film. Emma Stone is a total cutie, and manges to inject charisma and the right amount of depth into her part. Her sassiness was not only a turn on, but it gave me a lot of chuckles as well. Abigail Breslin is a hoot as Little Rock. She is one of the rare likable kid actresses of today, and her chemistry with Emma Stone is top-notch.
Bottom line. Zombieland is a hoot of a Zombie film. It's funny, action packed and an all around good time. I wouldn't put it anywhere near the top 250, like a lot of people have, but I definitely like the movie a lot, and look forward to the sequel.
