Pretty good, though it runs out of ideas by the end

Rating: 7/10 (4 October 2009)

Fun zombie movie spoof starring Jesse Eisenberg as a nebbish whose host of rules keep him safe during the zombie apocalypse. He meets up with Woody Harrelson, a tough guy who loves killing zombies, as well as two sisters, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin, who aren't nearly as helpless as they first seem. The group travels to Los Angeles, where the two girls believe there is a zombie-free zone at a famous amusement park (Harrelson and Eisenberg aren't so sure). The film starts off fresh with a great montage of slow-motion zombies chasing after their meals, and its quite fun for well over half its run. You may have heard that the film has one of the all-time great cameo appearances ever. That's absolutely true, and if it hasn't already been spoiled for you, stay away from its IMDb page and any other spoiler sources. The movie starts to run out of steam as it nears the end. The final sequence in the amusement park is fun, but characters begin to act stupidly. Plus, you can't help wonder why the heck the power is still running everywhere, and just how in the heck the two gals are running the rides and riding them at the same time (not to mention how they get off said rides without anyone at the controls to stop them). It's definitely a film worth seeing, but I might recommend waiting for video.
