Bland, Unfunny, and Overrated

Rating: 4/10 (13 June 2011)

Have you felt that a certain film has been over-hyped and overrated before? Well, that is exactly how I feel about this movie: Over-Hyped and extremely overrated. Why? Read on.
I was in school when this film was released, and EVERYONE asked me if I'd seen it. I'd always respond with "No" and then they tell me that the movie was very good and hilarious. Now, 3 years later, I finally get the chance to watch it, and I honestly hated it. First of all, the jokes are very bland and unfunny. There were a few jokes here and there that made me chuckle a little bit, but that was it. Secondly, the characters were poorly developed. Abigail Breslin doesn't get very much screen time, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin don't have much of a backstory, nor does Tallahassee, and that REALLY bothered me. Thirdly, *SPOILER ALERT* near the end, it turns out that Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin went through all this fuss and all this chaos JUST TO GO TO AN AMUSEMENT PARK. Really?! Are you kidding me? And also, when they reach the amusement park, the zombies break in and try to kill them! DUHHH
The thing that bothers me the most about this movie is that everyone told me how great it was, I watched it, and I hated it! VERY disappointing! Overall, don't spend your cash on this dumb and mediocre film. If you're in the mood for a Horror/Comedy film that's actually FUNNY, skip this one. I don't recommend it.
