A Few Notches Below "Shaun of The Dead"

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2014)

Turning from the seamless and neat "Shaun of The Dead", this film has been downgraded from "all right" to "inferior" in a sudden. Perhaps British humor works better with me, for the jokes here seem crude and unpolished. Yes, it is a very fun movie, but not as funny as "Shaun" would have you feel. I am not sure if "Zombieland" is meant to be a parody. If so, a big misfire. "Shaun", on the contrary, captures the society we live today quite well. This may be another proof that the Americans have always been more conservative and US-prone than they think. Democrat Party's platform policies may ring true to their desire to become, but Republican platforms are truly the way they do things. This is why American films stop being critical of the American society. Self- criticism is important to the ones in power. Zombies in "Shaun" are a part of the plot, while the ones in "Zombieland" run around only as props. Having said all this, if your only purpose is to have fun and nothing else, here you go!
