Starts Strong, Then Collapses

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2017)

The film started off really good. The film opens on scenes of carnage and several people get attacked by zombies. During the chaos, Columbus, our lead (Jesse Eisenberg), explains his rules for survival (Cardio, Double Tap, Beware of Bathrooms...). Then the opening credits. More carnage, but this time in slow-motion and with For Whom the Bell Tolls playing.
We then see Columbus who yet again goes over his rules, this time at a gas station. Then we cut to when he runs into Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson). We are then treated to a scene where Tallahassee goes nuts over a Hostess Truck not having Twinkies. We get to see Columbus' first encounter with zombies, when his neighbor gets infected. They arrive at a grocery store, where we see three OK zombie kills.
Then the girls arrive, and the film falls flat on it's face. Wichita(Emma Stone) and her sister Little Rock (Abagail Breslin), trick the men into giving them their vehicle, so they can go to an amusement park. In the next town, Columbus and Tallahassee find a truck full of guns, which they shoot into the air, wasting ammo.
After being tricked by the sisters a second time, they all agree to go to Pacific Playland. And then we get 20 minutes of them driving a car. They go to a shop, where a Columbus/Witchita romance begins to show. They trash the store, ruining possible weapons.
In a plot twist, they go visit Bill Murray, who dresses up as a zombie, and gets shot. Then we see more Wichita/Columbus. The girls leave, and they arrive at the amusement park, where they turn on every light, attracting zombies. They then trap themselves on a ride, surrounded by zombies.
In the finale, Tallahassee shoots zombies from a game booth, and Columbus mostly just runs around. There is a clown zombie, which Columbus kills. The girls are rescued, a Twinkie is found, and they drive away. The end.
There was a lot of wasted time, filler, and bad jokes. Watch once, then forget about.
