An unexpected hit

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2009)

Everyone rates movies differently but I rate a movie on how much I enjoyed the film and with that being said, Zombieland gets a 10/10 for me. This zombie action comedy flick sparkles with its hilarious twist on the idea of a zombie plague and hilarious cast.
The idea of spoofing the classic zombie outrage was first introduced to us by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg in the hilarious Shaun of the Dead. The creators of this movie who were inspired by that classic deliver a movie that is as witty and hilarious as Shaun could be. The thing that amazed me most by Zombieland was the fact that it kept me interested and laughing out of my seat from beginning to end. Starting with the very first scene of the movie where Columbus is explaining his rules, pulls you in from there and you never look back. But the real star of the movie is of course Woodie Harrelson. Imagine his character from Natural Born Killers turn up the funny but instead for a knack of killing humans, its zombies. He pulls his role off flawlessly as the Zombie killing machine, Tallahassee, with a twinky fetish.
Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin are great in their roles as well. Their characters show the love two siblings have for one another when everyone else in the world has vanished. The mixture of tough and bad ass action scenes, along with funny and sympathetic ones is greatly spread throughout this film. And lets not forget the great cameo by Bill Murray. This was just an extra bit the makers of this movie threw in their to make a great film even more exceptional.
Zombieland is a great zombie action comedy that will remain as a favorite for a while. Go and see this and hopefully you will enjoy it as much I did.
