Time to nut up or shut up!

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2015)

I have now watched Zombieland fourth time and its still great fun to watch. It may not have been as surprisingly fun as first view but Zombieland has good enough rewatch value. More than the comedy I like the feel good theme of film and the way it balances all its drama,horror,comedy,romance and everything else.
We all know the plot of any Zombie movie. Here it says some mad cow diseases spread to humans making them mad humans then into mad zombies. Well its absurd but that's not focus of the film. Much of it is about surviving the onslaught of zombies and to find the feeling of being a human in the world filled with these horrid creatures. The story is of 4 such people who are referred to only by the names of the place where they come from. Jesse Eisenberg's nerdy yet disciplined for survival character 'Columbus' meets Woody Harrelson's character 'Tallahassee' who is more of zombie kick-ass with a bit too much love for something called Twinkie. This odd duo meet another duo of sisters Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) who again know all the tricks to survive Zombieland. Romance is thrown in which looked a bit forced but we are busy admiring the uniqueness of each character that it did not matter much.
The character of Columbus is hands down my favorite. His set of rules to survive Zombieland which pop up every now and then were absolutely hilarious. The script is highly enjoyable with some really witty and hilarious dialogues. There is quite a lot of gore which wasn't quite necessary but it adds to the horror element. There is also a surprising cameo by a great comedy star and his entire sequence was the funniest bit of the film. At the run-time of only 88 minutes it never gets boring. The cast is only of 4 people (plus the cameo) and everyone else is Zombie. Each one of them was amazing to watch. It is a nice blend of horror comedy with the right amount of drama and thrills. Nothing feels a bit too much thus making it entertaining all the way.
I try to avoid Zombie movies because at the end all of them follow the same path. But Zombieland is not only one of the best zombie film among the few I have seen but also a very good comedy film. Even if you don't like Zombie movies watch it. It is really fun, but make sure you can handle some blood and gore. I would give Zombieland a 7/10 but the cameo part was a show stealer.It is one of the most hilarious sequences I have seen so gave it an extra star.
RATING: [4/5]
