Time to nut up or shut up

Rating: 7/10 (31 October 2011)

If ever you need affirmation of Woody Harrelson's charismatic virtues, "Zombieland" is Exhibit A. Granted, a big part of it is the character as written (and it's done well) with its collection of killer lines, but Tallahassee is the comedic backbone of the whole movie. And the guy brings the good ol' boy charm in spades. And I love that he's battling the undead in a quest for Twinkies. It's one hell of a character.
And it's a fun movie. The cameo/bit-part (I dunno if it'd count as a spoiler, but I still won't say who it is) is totally from out of left field, but still adds to the movie's charm. The truly odd thing I've found about this movie is, as likable as Harrelson is, they somehow manage to drain loads of likability from Emma Stone. That was surprising, and not something I'd thought possible. But it's still a fun movie, and it's gotten a surprising amount of play from me over the years.
7/10
