...and Johnny Cash didn't sing a tune. . .

Rating: 5/10 (3 October 2009)

Since "Night of the living Dead", zombies have really learned how to move. But they are still dumb and easy to outwit. I felt dumb and outwitted half way through when the cast visits Bill Murray's supposed Beverley Hills mansion. Embarrassing, it seemed like a prolonged out-take. Murray play-acted as in a TV sketch. His portrayal of himself wasn't honest. It became apparent that the makers had a good-o-time developing the story as they went along.
However, the fun-park segment at the end saved the film . . . barely.
The television ads for "Zombieland" had Johnny Cash's music. Cash's vocals would have adequately provoked the dark humor this flesh-eating, Southern-Gothic nightmare attempted to impart. Obviously, they used Cash's music as a draw. But his voice was never heard.
False advertising and a substandard script will make this film easy for me to forget.
