It's pretty sad when a film like this gets praised by critics... not comedy horror, just plain horrible.

Rating: 2/10 (26 February 2010)

Plot is recycled, unoriginal, and is a sampler of ever cliché in comedy horror. Events which are supposed to be "shocking twists" are extremely predictable to the seasoned movie goer. The actor playing the main character, seemed like he went to an acting class which focused on how to imitate Michael Cera (superbad). Woody Harrelson is a the only good actor in the film, and the only reason to not stop watching. The older girl, is the an extremely fake character, who apparently is wearing perfect make up, and a cute coordinated outfit in a zombie apocalypse. The surprise cameo will only be funny to a select crowd. Speaking on humor, there are almost no laugh out loud jokes, and only minor "heh" moments. Combat is extremely fake (shotguns have unlimited ammunition, no recoil. I only mention this because if comedy lacks, there needs to be good action, and this misses that train as well. Overall the movie would mostly appeal to teenage males, with a target viewer being a video game player. I am surprised how well this has been received, and I fear this is a new complacent direction cinema is taking. If your a comedy horror fan, go for Shaun of The Dead over this one.
