Tries a little too hard to add some quirkiness and emotion to typical zombie comedy.

Rating: 6/10 (27 July 2019)

To begin this short review, I'll answer one important question first. Do I regret spending my time watching this film? The answer is a definite no.
"Zombieland" has a lot of good scenes and clever dialogue, but, ultimately, doesn't cohere with true brilliance. Still, I think it's a unique combination of quirkiness, comedy, emotion for a zombie film, although I'm a long ways from being an expert on the genre.
Woody Harrelson plays Woody Harrelson, except that he's dialed up his usual self to around a 15 on a scale of 10, which was way too much for me and just plain annoying. (On the other hand, I'm sure that his many fans are going to have no problems with his performance at all.)
In summation, I'd recommend this short, fast-paced, basically heart-warming, zombie flick to anyone who wants to kick back and kill a little time, provided the usual zombie gore doesn't bother you. At its flesh-eaten core, it's actually really all about traditional American family values, just as much as any "Leave it to Beaver" episode ever was. I should add that while the gore is extreme, it hits you mostly like video-game stuff, rather than reality, so most people will soon get over it.
