Zombieland A Funny Horror Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2010)

Zombieland is a funny horror comedy which turned out to be much better than I expected. Director Ruben Fleischer is admirable in making this movie about four people trying to survive an apocalyptic world that has been taken over by zombies. The film has a nice balance between character development, the humor, and the action which mostly involves the zombies getting killed in gruesome but hilarious ways. The cast are very impressive in their roles including Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin who seem to be having a blast in this movie. Harrelson and Eisenberg have great comic chemistry with each other. They played off one another very well which made their growing friendship believable. Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin are just as good as two smart sisters who reluctantly join Harrelson and Eisenberg on a road trip across the country. The four actors also played off each other well during their scenes together. With that said, Zombieland ended up being much better than I thought it was going to be and the film left me feeling entertained. I can see why a lot people and critics for the most part enjoyed it. There's a surprise cameo by a well known actor halfway through who makes the best of his small part. I can't really think of anything I didn't like about this movie. Zombieland has it all character development, plenty of humor, drama, and a little suspense with just enough zombie action. I'd recommend you see this without knowing too much about it because it might ruin the experience for you. Zombieland is a very funny horror comedy with impressive performances by the cast especially Harrelson and Eisenberg who make it an entertaining film to watch. You won't be disappointed with this one.
